Being Light in a Dark World
There are many things I don't know yet. I enjoy learning
about or sometimes experiencing new things in life. Do you know what a light boat is? For some a
light boat is designed to carry light
weights. For others it’s a boat with many lights for decoration, but I’m talking about one that gives direction.
Everyone has heard of a “light house,” but in my early years
I had never heard of a "Light Boat." A "Light House" is a
tall house on shore with a huge bright light at the top to guide ships away
from danger and to the harbor. Well, a
"Light Boat" takes that concept a step further by actually taking the light off shore into the
ocean or bay. The mission is to place itself out in the deep, far enough from
shore to extend its effectiveness significantly.
So, we talk about the church being a light house. Think about being a light boat, getting off
of the safe shore and going out that extra mile to take the light of the gospel
to where the lost ships are, to safely guide them home. Keep thinking and
praying about where God would be blessed by us personally stepping out into “deeper
waters” in 2013.

Children Receive their Christmas Joy Boxes! - VIDEO
Children

Christmas
Joy Boxes! - VIDEO
2012 Christmas Joy Box Video from Hope for Haiti's Children on Vimeo.
Each year we lovingly pack shoe boxes with gifts to send to children living in desperate situations in Haiti. When a child opens a shoe box, they're opening more than a present picked out just for them, they are being reminded that there are others who care and are praying for them.
During December 12-17th, a volunteer mission team joined the staff in Haiti to distribute over 1,100 joy boxes. The smiles and joy were abundant!

Gaspra Singing School
Phil Bryan did a great service for us in the Prime-time class sharing about his mission in singing. Here is a photo series with a couple of songs in the background. You will recognize many of the photos from my presentation as most of the pictures used were ones I took.
The first song is with readings from Psalms in 4 languages. The second is a small group doing "Peace in the Valley". They love the old spirituals.
We changed the Gaspra Singing School Photo Album to a slideshow with a couple of the songs we recorded in the background. My cousin Phil sings the solo on the third verse of Peace in the Valley. I like it. Hope you do too.
