"Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day. Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples. For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; He is to be feared above all gods."

I Chronicles 16: 23-25

Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years are special times of the year. Most of us set aside everything else to spend time with family and friends. We talk about the things that happened during the past year and share one Of many delicious meals. Like most, we pause to give thanks to God for His blessing and bounty, and remember those things we hold most dear. The holiday season is truly a time of reflection, music, and praise to our God and Savior.

As for our ministry, it is a wonderful time of outreach and evangelism. Our annual 'Christmas Distribution' has enabled Indian churches to Enter needy homes in their community, with good tidings of great joy. They Also testify of the hope and salvation because of the birth of Jesus Christ. It is our prayer that you will include a Christmas gift of $65.00 (or what ever your gift giving allows) for a deserving Indian family.

With your help we will partner with four (4) Navajo churches, two (2) Apache, One (1) Pima and (1) Hopi church in the Southwest. Also participating are the Chosa's Crow church in Montana, Kate Kendle's Sioux church in South Dakota, Tammy Jackson's Cherokee church in North Carolina, and the Williams - who will minister to the Goshute Shoshone in Utah. All of this adds up to 12 churches - a scriptural grouping for us to support financially and pray for throughout the month of December.

It is our prayer that your participation will bring you the fullness of joy for this holiday season.

May you and your family have a blessed holiday season

Basil Gaynor, President
