Greetings!
Warm New Year's Greetings from Mexico City!
Last Sunday Kerry preached at our three services on the subject of PERSEVERANCE AND TENACITY. Every "preacher" knows that one is not just preaching to the congregation, but to one's self as well. This has been difficult year juggling responsibilities between directing Christ for the Nations Mexico Bible schools (We opened four schools this year!), as well as dealing with numerous legalities of transferring Bethany International's literature ministry (formerly 8 stores in Mexico) to new owners. Please pray for the fiscal and legal process which will continue into 2011.
We are thankful for the 33 full-time missionaries we have out on the field in some very difficult areas and look forward to dedicating more time to this area next year, as well as seeing others sent out.
We do count our blessings this year and are thankful to the Lord for so many things, expecially for the trip we were given to Israel in November.
As you count your blessings and continue to persevere with tenacity, be reminded of Paul's words in Galatians 6:9... "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
For the extension of His kingdom,
Kerry & Janyce Olson |
