Unto Us

We pray you have a blessed and memorable Christmas Day.

This morning we read the words of the prophet Isaiah in chapter 9. Such a fitting message for the people of West Africa who we will soon be serving:

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest …You have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor … For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

The people of West Africa are burdened with false religions, poverty and political turmoil. Please join us in praying that they will find freedom in the Prince of Peace.
