May the Lord Jesus Christ eternally bless every reader and bring life and peace to every soul. It is trully wonderful to be blessed with a new avenue to express my heart and to share what God is doing in my life on the mission field amoung the Warao people of eastern Venezuela. It is also my desire to communicate with friends and any other interested person the love and mercy that God has for all. In this first opportunity I would like to greet everyone in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and ask that God would grant to you all a blessed New Year and wisdom to walk in a way pleasing to God who is created each with a special purpose.

We have all struggled with the adversities of life and arrived at the present with potential full every hope and abiding faith that the Lord of all Grace and Glory has a future for us all full of eternal blessings. It is that future that has our interest as we seek to discover His will for us one day at a time. To experience God's peace we need to obey His will and to know His will we need His Spirit's guidance. Through the light of Word we will discover those purposes and find the guidance we need to bear the fruit that brings Him glory.

Let us press on in the service of our God and King and remember that it is our Lord Jesus Christ who has given new life and the responsibility of being examples of God's love and grace to a world confused by the present darkness of a sinful nature.

May God bless you all with His light and grace, Tom
