We wish you all a very Merry CHRISTmas and a Happy New Year! We feel blessed to be called your feet to the Tiale people and to be able to serve in the country of Vanuatu. According to the Lord’s timing, we will head back to Vanuatu whenever the country opens back up, and when Seth is fully able to walk on his own two feet. We know that God meticulously planned the inauguration of His Son, Jesus, to come to this earth nearly 2,000 years ago. Likewise, He will take care of the details of when we will head back.

We love you all and appreciate your partnership in our ministry! We covet your prayers at this time. We hope you all can enjoy some special and meaningful time with family, friends, and loved ones during this Christmas season.

“Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭15:33‬ ‭

Your Feet to the Tiale People & the Country of Vanuatu,

Thank you all so much for your prayers, texts and concerns for Seth! He is home and on the road to recovery. Please continue to pray for his pain management; the nerve block didn’t work and pain medications usually don’t work on him… needless to say he’s feeling everything right now and is in a good bit of pain. The doctor said they don’t give out stronger medications. The surgery was successful and he is expected to make a full recovery. Thank you for your prayers, we greatly appreciate them!

Seth is going to have surgery at 7:45am today to attach his ruptured patellar tendon on his left leg.

We appreciate your prayers in two ways: 1. That the doctor does everything correctly 2. That Seth has speedy recovery.

We usually are the ones driving all over the place to visit family and friends… but this will ground us for this Christmas season. God is gracious in that we understand what “the Prince of Peace” looks like in many ways. Thank you for everything. God bless!

When it Rains…
We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, although this is a time for
us North Americans to typically think of cold weather, hot chocolate,
redundant jingles of your favourite Christmas playlist, time with family,
and thinking about the greatest Gift God gave to us in the Incarnation of
Jesus. However, this time of year is typically the hottest season in
Vanuatu. This week the flooding has already begun, with the rivers being
impassible, temperatures in the low 100’s, humidity nearing 100%… it
truly is the mark of the rainy season…
