Christmas gives us unprecedented opportunities to share the joy and love of Christ with those who have not heard or understood the Good News of the Gospel. But we don't want to forget those who have left all to follow Christ. The students at our Bible school often find it difficult even to find enough to fund a special meal to celebrate the birth of Christ. We are thankful to serve here in Burkina and to invest in these students at multiple levels. At Christmas we try to do something totally unexpected, a surprise that will make a memory of joy which we pray will carry them through the hard days that lie ahead for them as they serve in evangelism and church planting roles. This year each woman received a bag of new clothes for their children. But honestly, it was Olaf that caused an eruption of laughter and spontaneous singing of thanksgiving to God!
