2022 December Newsletter

Merry Christmas to all our Live Connection partners,      Wishing you a joyful and peaceful Christmas season!

This Christmas, we have much to celebrate with Live Connection’s growth and our increasing ability to enable our brothers and sisters to share the hope and message of Jesus Christ. At this time of year, we have the privilege to reflect on the birth of Jesus and the freedom that His life offers to everyone.

Christmas is the time to celebrate that God has not abandoned us in our life, our pain, and ultimately our death. On the contrary, God has a plan for each of us, through His Son, Jesus. The immeasurable love of the Father was planned before the beginning of time, a scandalous rescue mission for all those who would look to God and put their trust in Jesus.

John 3:16For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Live Connection continues to empower pastors to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. See below the message from James, our regional leader in Zambia, Livingstone.

Thank you for adding three pastors on support as you promised. Words can’t express how happy I am. I was really moved by the situation of two pastors you put on support. They had great challenges. One had failed to pay for house rental for two months. The other had the water utility company turn off the water because he was failing to pay water bills. And suddenly you came in and sent some money. I wish you had seen the smiles you put on their faces. I was really touched as they shared their stories. God bless your office for coming at the right time. Thank you very much once more. We don’t take what happened for granted. This is God at work …

James.
