We are blessed to add the prayer letter of Joy and Paul Mueller to our site.

Thanks to members Del and Dorleen for sharing this with us.

 

Mueller Email Christmas Prayer Letter January 2008, Volume 5, No. 2

 

This letter is going to be shorter and more “family” friendly and serve as a Christmas letter. Now it is late, we know, but our kids were out here to see us and spend Christmas with us, so we thought we would send it AFTER they left to share them with you as well. So, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and an Enlightened Epiphany! There will be lots of pictures in this letter and we will let them tell the story.

 

 

 

 

A quick update concerning Kenya: today, Tuesday, January 15, 2008, is a rather intense day for Kenya as Parliament opens and no media are permitted to cover this process. The opposition leader is calling for protest and rallies on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Kofi Anan, former Secretary-General elect for the United Nations, is arriving on Wednesday in hopes to have the two parties talk and come to some resolution. We will be staying close to home using email and phones to communicate. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kenya (ELCK) and Rev. David Chuchu, Project Director for the ELCK, is working hard with relief efforts in Western Kenya. Joy met with the leadership yesterday and they are very saddened by the turn of events that are taking place in Kenya. Joy has been in communication with the project coordinators in each diocese (4) and they have done a preliminary survey on the needs of the people. Thousand of people are displaced and the orphans are scattered. Churches were burned and land disputes are on the rise. There is much work to do and the people are suffering. Keep those prayers going up!

 

Of course, the season is only a season because of what Christ has done. He is the One we proclaim – all through the year. Continue to share Christ with those you meet – let’s reach 100 million people with the Good News. Give all people a chance to meet Jesus and come to faith in Him.
