Daves in Texas!!
YES, its true! Dave is in Texas doing what God has called us to and working in the Information Technology (IT) Department at Gospel For Asia (GFA) in the home office. We are so incredibly excited that he has had the opportunity to go even before we thought. (Isaiah 55:8For

D ECEM B ER 2011

my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.) We had received a call a few weeks before asking Dave to come early because there was a need that he could fill in the IT department.

Through prayer and speaking to our mentors, we realized that this was Gods timing and His plan. So, without me and the kids in tow, Dave made the journey from South Carolina to Texas on November 9, 2011. We praise God for the safety and alertness He had given to Dave during that long 17 hour drive (yes, he drove straight through) and we continue to praise Him for allowing Dave to be used there in order that others may come to know Christ!! The kids and I remain here in South Carolina as we wait

for the house to sell. I resigned from my job as a neonatal ICU nurse on November 17, 2011 to come and be a full-time mom to the kids right now and I am continuing to try and raise support since we are not 100% supported yet. Please keep us in prayer as it is difficult to be away from each other but we know that following Christ means sacrifice and we want to do whatever God calls us to do for His glory to be revealed and others to know Him. May we always be worthy of Him! Matthew 10:3738

News from the IT Desk of Dave

Greetings from Texas! Because of all of your faithfulness through prayer and support I am able to be here at GFA doing my small part to reach the lost world with the name of Jesus Christ. I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for not giving up on us. We have failed to keep everyone updated in our journey in the last 2 years except for several newsletters and I humbly ask for your forgiveness. This has been a learning experience which I know God will use to build us up for the future. Please have grace on us as we work out our growing pains in support raising. Please just know that even though we do ask for money to live on so we can serve the Lord, we care so much more about each and every one of you and building our relationships with you. We need to ask for support because we are trying to be faithful in what God has called us to and we also know that God loves a cheerful giver and we want everyone we know to be given the chance to see the lost saved through what He is doing through GFA. Well me coming to GFA by myself isnt quiet the way we envisioned it to all pan out, but God is sovereign and He will work it all together for His glory. Please PRAY, PRAY, PRAY that God would sell our house so I can be reunited with my family. I have now been here for over a month and it is incredible to see how the ministry works. PRAYER!!! If I could convey one thing that GFA does to serve the Lord it would be this, we pray...a lot. We know that, Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it Psalm 127:1 We seek the Lord and He directs our paths.

The Poorest of the Poor this Christmas

Spread across South Asia is a forgotten people too numerous to count. Theyre despised by their countrymen and viewed as subhuman. Even the shadows they cast are believed to be contaminated by their filth. They are the Dalits, the "Untouchables" of South Asia. Their life is valued at less than the animals whose dung they clean from the streets. Banned from the rest of society, they find employment removing trash, discarding animal carcasses and cleaning out latrines and sewers. Youre sending hope that can forever change a life. Cows supply milk that can be sold. A sewing machine for a widow creates a career, and chickens supply an income. Best of all, Christ's love shines through. These gifts will change lives. Will you give a gift that will last for all eternity this Christmas? Please go to www.gfa.org/gift or call 1-800-WIN-ASIA to purchase a gift over the phone and give a family a hope and new life through

When you purchase items from the Christmas catalog, youre choosing to send more than a chicken, a cow or a sewing machine.

Praises and Prayer Requests

Praises: Dave made it to Texas safely and is now working at the home office of GFA in the IT department. Praise God for more support that has come in in the last month! Praise God that we got to have Dave home for Thanksgiving for a few days. Prayer: Pray that God would sell our home quickly and bring us back together as a family again. Pray for more meetings to be scheduled and us to be 100% supported. Pray for our children and the adjustments and peace while daddy is away.

Merry CHRISTmas!!
We want to take this time to give thanks to God for each one of you, our faithful supporters and wish you all a very Merry CHRISTmas. We could not be where God has called us without you! You are a blessing to us! As we go through this joyous season, we know it is so easy to get wrapped up in the busy-ness of all that has to be done. May we not become too busy that we forget the real joy and meaning of this season - our Savior, Jesus Christ! For if not for that night in Bethlehem so long ago, we would not be able to celebrate the joy of Christmas, knowing that it was because of our Saviors life, death, and resurrection that we have joy in Him and can be called His.
