Our 12 days of Christmas emphasis is off to a great start.  We are in the midst of our 600 hours of prayer. Our Bluffton concert was a tremendous success. We had a tremendous crowd at Marketshare yesterday and we are getting great reports from our schoolhouse Christmas projects. Today a large group headed out to San Diego. Please be much in prayer for them as they will be singing tomorrow night and Sunday.  This will be a great boost to the ministry of that church we are planting there in San Diego.    This is a time of great opportunity for us in sharing the gospel.

I hope that you will plan to be in your place here on Sunday because this also is a place of great opportunity and your presence and support are extremely important. In the body of Christ we have no one to take your place. I am more and more concerned about the necessity of sharing the true message of the gospel during this Christmas season. We have perverted it in so many ways in this culture and we should never take for granted that people know and understand what the birth of Christ means to our life and to our eternity.

We have had literally hundreds of people be involved in these activities thus far, and if you have not had an opportunity to participate, there will be plenty of chances for you to do so in the days to come.
