Merry Christmas!
This is truly a wonderful time of the year for Sunshine and me as we close out chapters in our lives and start new ones. Sunshine and I can both get caught up in the holiday frenzy and the chaos of all the changes in our lives but we both love this time of year as we focus on Christ’s birth. We celebrate the fact that He became a man to ultimately die for everyone’s sins so that we can be restored to God. We rejoice in His birth, for He is the “Reason for the Season”. It is our prayer that as we spend time with family and friends that we never lose sight of that.
After spending the last two months in Louisville, KY we are celebrating Christmas in Nebraska. We had a great time in Kentucky visiting with supporters, friends, training with the ministry and making new contacts. It was a very busy time while we were there, but Sunshine enjoyed getting to spend some quality time with her family. While we are in Nebraska, we continue to raise support and recruit teams to go to the Dominican Republic.
Happy New Year!
Sunshine and I will ring in the New Year in a new city as we will depart for Santiago, Dominican Republic on New Year’s Eve. It is fitting that we start this new chapter in our lives in our new home. We are both so excited to go and become a small part of what God is doing there on the island of Hispainola. As we prepare to go please be in prayer for us. Prayer that we will be used by God for His glory, and prayer for Sunshine to continue to build relationships within the medical community for further outreach. Please pray for me as I learn a new language, that I may be an asset to the ministry and that I build life changing relationships with both the Dominican’s and Haitian's. It will be an adjustment on all fronts, but God provides and God gives us nothing more than we can handle.
We thank each and every one of you that we have gotten to know. We thank you for your faithful support of what God has put on our hearts for us to do in the Dominican. Know that you and your families are in our prayers weekly and it is our prayer that you have a blessed 2009.

Merry Christmas!!
