Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas ahead, and it’s a year unlike any other. We pray your Thanksgiving was full of good food and gratitude. It was easy for us this year to reflect on what we’re thankful for, because it’s you. We are so grateful for your dedication to lifting us and this ministry up in prayer. We firmly believe God reveals himself and his power through answered prayers.
This past month, we’ve had to stop visiting local churches out of respect for heightened restrictions, but it’s given us an opportunity to reconnect with some older friends and to continue serving at Chapelstreet Church however we can. As we send this letter, we’re on our last day of quarantine after Peter was exposed to COVID. We’re both feeling healthy, and his test came back negative, so we’re ready to jump back in to the Christmas season.
We’ve been working on a video series for Chapelstreet’s advent giving project. The past few years have focused on a global partner, but this year, it’s a local organization that serves survivors of domestic sex trafficking. Our teaser trailer and first story video have both been released. You can watch them here:

Praise God with Us
For the completion of the first two videos in our advent giving project and the opportunity to encourage more people to get involved in this ministry.
For our health and ability to continue to connect with people over Zoom while we have been quarantined.
Between my (Heather’s) new favorite book, Cross-Cultural Connection, and our advent study, we’ve had the opportunity reflect on this year together and really talk through some of the stresses we’ve been facing, and pray over those things together.
Chapelstreet Church has hired someone to fill Peter’s position. We’ve been praying about this position for a year, and we are so excited for Matt to take on this role. Matt has been a part of the church for a few years, and has worked on some video projects for the church already. He has also been working with us on the Naomi’s House project. Praise God for the provision and the time for a smooth transition.
Pray with Us
For our continued preparation and study we approach as our cross-cultural training.
For our visits with family over Christmas to be safe, healthy, and full of joy.
We are praying for 50% in our monthly partnerships and 60% of our equipment fund.
From Psalm 27:14: “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!”
Thank you for praying with us!
