Wise Men Still Seek Him

It's that festive, reflective time of year again. So much travel since last Christmas for the Stoners, including our time away from Brazil in the U. S. since July. And more recently my 12-day visit to So.Africa and Mozambique. And within the U. S., several plane trips last summer and thousands of miles driven since, from Florida to Texas; to New England and back again.

Despite the downturn in the economy and major political changes, God is still sovereign and is calling out a people for His name. He's saving, sanctifying and securing them...to enjoy an eternal relationship with them through His incarnate Son, Jesus Christ. Our God is incredible when you stop to think of His eternal purpose being worked out in the universe at this very moment. And the biggest evidence is the birth of the Baby in the manger, an event with world-changing repercussions. So good to be involved, still seeking to know and serve Christ, through leadership training in northern Brazil. Lord willing, we will fly back January 13th. Am including some photos from my trip to Mozambique, so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
