Christmas 2008

"For unto us a child is born unto us a son is given"

"He shall be called Immanuel God with us"

To celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ with all of our Sudanese brothers and sisters, what a privilege and honor.

Christmas Eve at about 10:00 pm we all meant in the church. There were 8 other villages that came to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

"Come let us sing for joy to the Lord let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song." Psalm 95:1-2

Because there was such a crowd our church would not hold everyone so Christmas morning we all meant under a tree and worshiped together both in Word and song. What a wonderful time of worship and fellowship.

Then we went into the village and had a meal with everyone and continued our celebration for the birth of Jesus.

On December 26Th, we had a baptism service and 37 were baptised. Our watchman was one of those baptized along with a new believer who came to the Lord Christmas day. Oh what a blessing I received to be able to spend Christmas in Thiangrial.

Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord; no deeds can compare with Yours. All the nations you have made will come and worship before you O Lord; they will bring glory to your name. For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God. Psalm 86:8:10
