Praising God for the opportunities those serving as our Father's Heart, Hands and Voice have to proclaim the Eternal Gospel to all "who live on earth - to every nation, tribe, language and people." (Rev. 14:6) Thank you for supporting those who serve with the IMB in East Africa. Without the gifts to the Cooperative Program and the Lottie Moon Offering, your sending personnel to assist us, and most importantly your prayers, we would lack many needed resources which allow us to claim the gift of being "co-workers in God's service" (1 Cor 3:9). --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

“Many Christmas gifts we exchanged and that the kids bought for each other were imported cheese, cereal, soda, chips, grapes and pears. Thrilled their little hearts! Presents that would have never been considered ‘gifts’ in our past life in the US ....so full of gratefulness.” Shared by a Missionary whose family has served in East Africa for almost 8 years! Praise God for providing His servants with the ability to adapt and the joy found when they are in THE PLACE where He calls them to serve as His Heart, Hands and Voice!

“The sound of Christian choirs singing Christmas music during the Islamic call to prayer while helping my mom fix curry fish without any power. Classic African!” Posted by a Missionary Kid, ‘home’ in East Africa during the Christmas break of his US college. Praise God today for the many experiences that are a part of an MK’s life – including having friends from around the world and experiencing other cultures. Pray also for strength, comfort and lots of good memories for MKs and their parents who are separated on holidays and special occasions. (Photo is not a Christmas decoration, but a bit of the clothing worn on special occasions by the People Group that this young man’s family ministered among.)

Dec 28th UPDATE from team after arriving safely at their destination: The students are great! They had a meal and orientation and are getting to bed. They haven't seen any mosquitoes! :) Pray for open hearts and changed lives!
Dec 29th UPDATE: "Praise! Found persons of peace to give water filters to. Persons of peace are those who are receptive to the messengers and can be a bridge into their communities. Please pray that more persons of peace will be found to give the remaining filters to. Also, many of the students have experienced very little outreach to the unreached. Pray that they would have a passion to see these hard to reach people come to Christ!"

In some parts of the world, new clothes are a part of celebrating Easter. In East Africa, new clothing is more likely a part of the Christmas celebration. Many worship services yesterday included a time for praising God and thanking Him for sending His Son, the giver of new life. Pray for wisdom and boldness as East African Believers “Go … and tell the people the full message of this new life” (Acts 5:20) to the many People Groups in their part of the world who have not yet heard our Father’s Good News.

An unreached People Group fact that might surprise you: Once a Christian people, the Nubian People are now followers of another faith! Most Nubians are found in Egypt and Sudan, but 50,000 live in Uganda and Kenya. Another startling statement shared by the Joshua Project*: “Most (Nubian) tribes have not heard a clear presentation of the Gospel.” Pray that Believers will respond to our Father’s call to be His Heart, Hands and Voice among the Nubian People. * Nubians of Uganda- http://www.joshuaproject.net/people-profile.php?peo3=12629&rog3=UG ; Nubians of Kenya http://www.joshuaproject.net/people-profile.php?peo3=12629&rog3=KE

Praising God for the Christmas feast (ugali, stewed cabbage, beef stew, chicken, rice pilau and chapati ) enjoyed yesterday by the SEMA LEATHERWORK staff and their family and friends. The purpose of SEMA LEATHERWORKS is to enable a group of young pastors to provide daily bread for their families by making leather crafts and to have time to go into the slums of Nairobi, Kenya, to SEMA (Swahili for to speak, tell) the Good News of the one who is the Bread of Life, the Living Bread which gives life to the world (John 6:25-59).

As violence continues in the Democratic Republic of Congo, pray for safety for Believers and for opportunities to witness of the Prince of Peace. On a different continent, retired East African missionaries also need prayers. One couple shares: “We were members of a mission church, but felt that the Lord wanted us to work with African refugees. We visited a mission church with a group of French speaking Congolese on the last Sunday their African teacher was with them. The pastor asked us to teach their class… led by the Lord, we agreed to take the class of 20 adults and youth. They are a big blessing to us!” Another retiree shares her husband’s story:“Recuperating from heart failure, he has is staying occupied – He advises and counsels a Swahili speaking Congo refugee group that meets in our church. He preached in Swahili one Sunday sitting in his power chair!”
