Christmas in Pointe Noire

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
from Pointe Noire

The weather here in PN does not feel at all like Christmas, more like the 4th of July. Soon we will have the longest day of the year in the Southern hemisphere. Last year we were in the Alps, this is the tropics. We could not resist the temptation to have our picture taken with Santa. The owner of the store is Indian and when Carma wished him a Merry Christmas he responded that it is not his holiday. For him it is a chance to make money, which is the reason he is here. Christmas is our reason for being here. God sent his son into the world so that we might have life. This life is offered to everyone.

Year-end Giving: Some people may wish to give a year-end gift. Gifts to the Great Commission Fund are used for our support. This pays for our salary, insurance, housing and travel costs.

A gift to Nelson Work- Congo allows us to purchase things that are necessary for our work here. I, Wyman, have used these funds to buy tools, cement and Bibles for distrubution.

A gift to Nelson Outfit-Congo will help us buy things for our house. Items on the list include a washing machine and an air conditoner.

A gift to Nelson Vehicle-Congo will help us buy a vehicle for our work here.
See the side panel for the link for giving.
