Merry Christmas!

South Africa - December 24, 2006

Merry Christmas!After a long trip from Seattle via Taipei, Hong Kong to Johannesburg and now on to Madrid and all the way back up around the globe to Switzerland, I'll be staying there with my family friends to celebrate Christmas. The hiccup in Hong Kong eventually caused a number of delays and the rescheduling of our Kenya project. We are now rescheduling it for mid-February. Stay tuned for a Kenya update next week!

Right now, I want to extend a special thank you and Merry Christmas to all the supporters we have had since we undertook this project. It has been a huge blessing to know that we have people, some who we know and some who we don't, praying for us, the projects that we undertake and the people we meet. Without prayer, this trip could not be a success.

This Christmas, I am thankful to have this opportunity to travel and serve and am pondering just how much we've experienced. It has been amazing. For example, I came way from our project in India, filled with renewed energy to continue to make a difference and impact the lives of people I come across. The fact that we could bless so many people simply by reaching out and helping them repair their farm is simply awesome. It only underscores how our actions can truly positively impact someone's life. Whether it is in a tiny village in India or in our own neighborhood, the same idea applies. I encourage you to do the same; give someone around you a helping hand and you'll discover how much it also blesses you in return. So reach out to someone this Christmas season. Then do it again and again and you'll realize how immeasurably blessed you will become.

- Patrick
