UPDATE

Happy New Year! What a blessing to reflect on God’s goodness over the last year and to look forward to the opportunities to serve God over the upcoming year.
One of Teri’s teachers from high school is here in London for a few weeks, so we enjoyed having her with us for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
We celebrated Christmas last week with a traditional British dinner of Turkey, Ham, Yorkshire Pudding, Sausages, Mashed and Roast Potatoes, Vegetables, Stuffing Balls, Apple Crumble and Custard.
Also, on Christmas Day, we attended a very nice service at Northend Baptist Church in Erith (a few miles away from us).
Here is a link to the Queen’s Christmas Day speech that you might be of interest to you.
On Boxing Day (the day after Christmas), we attended a children’s play called “The Tiger Who Came to Tea.”
Yesterday, Pastor and Mrs. Wayne Cofield from Whitfield Baptist Church in Dalton, GA were here in London on a long layover on their way to South Africa. Teri and I enjoyed fellowshipping with them and showing them around London.
Here is a great article by James Wilson on “The True Christmas Message Lives Forever.”

One of our supporting churches had to stop supporting us for financial reasons, but High Ridge Baptist Church in Kingston, TN took us on for support recently!
Several churches and individuals sent in some special Christmas gifts which were a real blessing to us!
