Making the Most of Our Gifts

FROM HONDURAS
The fall 2009 Newsletter for Cristo Salva is now available online at www.cristosalva.org

• The team went out into the villages to distribute clothing and food. More than 1,200 lbs. of food was given to families this trip. ”Dr.” Stan (Stan recently completed his doctorate in missions) was again able to distribute Sunday school material and Bibles.
• Cottage industries are going in full force. Jazmin and her mom made 180 very beautiful cards. With some of the money they earned, a pig was bought which later had four piglets! They will be able to help support and feed their family by raising the pigs. Arnold was also able to make quite a few barbed wire stars to sell.
• There were three new decisions for Christ. In El Choritzo, near the Sula hospital, Maria Celeste made a decision for Christ, but her husband, Santiago, was not ready. Returning later in the day, Santiago, too, became a new believer.

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF WORLD OUTREACH
World Outreach for the Advent Christian Church continues to be in the forefront of much of our resource allocation. Thank you for your prayers and support over this past year. Your kindness and generosity has meant that together we have been able to participate in the Great Commission. That effort has resulted in many new names being written in the Lamb’s Book of Life as well as people growing in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus.

I like watching people; in fact, I think it could be a sport. I could spend hours sitting in a mall or in an airport just watching people. There’s only one thing I could do more, that’s listening to people.
