clean and serviceable. Please ask

listen.

Many of you know
that every other Tuesday we take four ladies from Cancún
Escuela de Belleza (thanks to Mission Partner Raul) to CIDA to work their magic
on the residents. It is very generous
outreach and adds dignity to the lives of the residents. We are not talking about military haircuts …
the residents get to tell the ladies how they want their hair to be trimmed and
all seem very pleased with the outcome.
This is a seemingly small thing that makes a big
impact.
I wrapped my
Christmas presents early this year, but I used the wrong paper. The paper I used said 'Happy Birthday' on
it. I didn't want to waste the paper so
I just wrote 'Jesus' on it.

Christmas is
a season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall and the genial flame
of charity in the heart.

Giving
does not end with tithing. God asks that
the giving heart be extended to those who need it most-widows, orphans, and the
poor. As a Christian, we must reach out
to those in need, sharing the blessings we have received from
God.

19
days until Christmas and things are happening.
Our treasured Mission Partners are opening their hearts and joining us in
our desire to provide the best Christmas ever for those less
fortunate.
1. 9 children at Casa
Hogar2. 10 mothers and children at City of Joy
3. 121 residents of CIDA (this will be the 1st time anyone has provided Christmas for the residents of CIDA)
Our
goal remains to furnish Christmas gifts for 140 and to provide Christmas dinner
for the 121 residents of CIDA and 10 mothers and children at City of Joy. Many of our Missions Partners have opened
their hearts and contributed and we sincerely thank you for your continued
support of our work.
As
you can see, we truly need your help. No
donation is too large or too small and all donations are appreciated. As you open your hearts, you are showing
those less fortunate the life changing power of Jesus Christ. Is there any better way to celebrate
Christmas?

is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts.” Janice Maeditere
What
a blessing! We have started receiving
Christmas gifts for the children at Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza. If you live in or around Cancun, we invite
you to deliver the gifts in person. The
experience will enrich your heart. If
you need directions to the orphanage contact Tom Martin @ tommartinmx@gmail.com.

You are
invited to join us on December 21st at CIDA in Leona Vicario. Cherie and I will get there around 2:00 PM to
start cooking and setting up and we plan on serving around 4:00 PM. CIDA is very easy to find. You simply take the Merida Highway (Lopez
Portillo- the Libre to Merida). As you
enter Leona Vicario, there is a Pemex station on your right…CIDA is 200 feet
further on your left. The facility is
white and blue and well marked, has high walls and a large parking lot in
front. We hope you will join us in
honoring God by serving others.
When
we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things, not the
great occasions, give off the greatest glow of happiness. Bob

It
is really nice seeing old faces and new faces in church. In a couple of weeks, many of our friends
from the cold north will be returning to our warm tropical climate and rejoining
their Cancún
family at church. It will be really nice
to see them again and to work with them in our Mission Outreach. Can’t Wait!
Santa
saw your Facebook pictures ... this year you are getting clothes and a
Bible. Jean
The
purpose of tithing,
found in Deuteronomy 14:22-23, is
made clear: to “teach you always to love
the Lord your God.” By practicing good
tithing habits, scripture tells us we are showing God our desire to put him
first in our lives.
Christmas
is a necessity. There has to be at least
one day of the year to remind us that we're here for something else besides
ourselves. Eric Sevareid
