Christmas was special because we had the opportunity to share with many new friends who celebrated the holiday with members of the church in their homes, and who heard the story of our Savior’s birth. We are praying for these new relationships, and that the eyes of our friends can be opened to the truth of Jesus.

As the year ended, some of our international students went back to their home countries. One student, a dentist from Mexico, who came to Canada to study English for six months, got in touch with our Alpha course in downtown Toronto and came to our Christmas celebration. He made a decision for Christ, and on his last Sunday at church he told us, in tears, about the joy of his experience with Christ as his Lord.

On a more personal level, I am delighted with the arrival of my baby boy. It has been a wonderful time of joy and celebration. We have also seen God’s providence in all our needs as our new family member joins the household.
