2021 November / December Newsletter

To our amazing Live Connection Mission Community,

If this year has taught us anything, it’s that even in midst of the storm Jesus is still in the boat (Matthew 8:23). Sometimes all we need to do is take our eyes off the waves to see how present God has been.

Christmas is a great time to reflect on where Jesus has been working in our lives in 2021. It is a season of great joy; a time for remembering the past and hoping for the future. The impact which we have had over this difficult year has been amazing. The testimonies of the pastors have confirmed the importance of the Live Connection partnership over and over again.

Listen to the heart of Pastor Moses from Chinsali, Zambia below:

“Life has not been easy for me and my family. I can confess that had it not been because of your quarterly financial help, we would not have survived as a family up to today. Life in Chinsali is extremely expensive.
With your great support, we have, within this short period, managed to put up a strong permanent church building at the plot which was just bush when you came here in July, 2019. The roofing of the church building is more than seventy five percent done. People within and outside the church … are praising God for the unexpected developments.”

Despite the dire COVID pandemic, the Lord is using our brothers and sisters in the field in miraculous ways. While we struggle to understand all that is going on, let us continue to trust God’s greater wisdom and rest in the knowledge that He is in control and that He is still building His church in and through everything.

It’s through your prayerful and financial support that we can help make a significant difference in the lives of others, thank you! Together, we have shown our brothers and sisters that they are not alone in their ministries.

“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you, he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:8

Yours in Christ,
