Hi, Alliance Canada. This Christmas season, I wanted to take a moment to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering faithfulness and generous contributions to the Global Advance Fund.
There are many, many other tribes serving Jesus faithfully, and I'm so thankful for them. But today, I'm incredibly thankful for you, for your commitment to our small tribe as together we serve our king.
Your dedication and support have been instrumental in furthering the mission and spreading the message and love of Christ here in Canada and around the world. And your commitment and generosity embody the spirit of giving that characterizes this season.
It's at Christmas that we're invited to remember the miraculous birth of Jesus. I love the story of the Nativity, because to me it beautifully encapsulates the essence of Christmas.
In Luke, it tells us for unto you is born this day in the city of David, a savior who is Christ the Lord. It's a reminder of God's profound love for humanity as he sends his son to bring salvation and peace to the world. As we continue to rejoice in the birth of Christ, let us also look ahead with hope and anticipation for what God has in store for us into the days ahead.
May this Christmas continue to fill your hearts with the joy and peace that the birth of Jesus brings. As we enter the coming year, let's continue our journey together, spreading His love, His grace and His mercy to all the rest of the world.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas filled with the blessing of the newborn King and a new year Blessed by his guidance and grace. And hopefully an ugly Christmas sweater party or two as well. I love our Alliance family and I'm so grateful for you. Happy New Year everyone.
