This year has gone so fast that we wonder “where has the time gone”? As we consider what God has done this year, we are so grateful that He has shown Himself time and time again to be faithful and true. As we end 2012 we wanted you to “look back” with us as we give praise and glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

From our hearts to your heart we want to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous and
blessed New Year in 2013. We have been very busy over this past month traveling to a different country and a distant city in Colombia. We have been viewing and reviewing one of our missionary families — their ministry in another South American country. We have studied, prepared, and taught some new Deaf believers the StoryOne process in Medellin just last week. We will be traveling to another distant city,
Cali, on November 30th to lead another StoryOne training/ workshop and then on to Bogotá on December 4th to teach the Deaf /Wycliffe “Jesus Project Team” about the StoryOne process with hopes of producing these stories into video for distribution throughout Colombia in the months ahead. Guillermo will be joining us in Bogotá to assist in the training with the Jesus Project Team.
Please pray for us as we continue to serve and minister to the spiritual needs of the many thousands of Deaf un- reached and unengaged in this country as well as to the spiritual growth of the new Deaf believers. Pray that the Holy Spirit will create a flame of urgency and revival in the hearts of the Deaf believers to see, accept, and obey their responsibility to GO and “make disciples” among their own people group. Thank you for all your love, prayers and support. Please continue to remember to lift us up in prayer as we plan and prepare for the quickly approaching Deaf Camp 2013 in January. We count it an honor and joy to be
your missionary among the Deaf in South America.
