Ministry Report
Shalom!
As we step into the New Year, I want to extend a heartfelt greeting to each one of you. As we embrace the promise of a new beginning, let us be reminded of the words in Isaiah 43:19: “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” May this verse inspire us to anticipate the new things God is doing in our lives and to trust that he will guide us even through the toughest of times. May the New Year be filled with abundant blessings and joyous moments for you and your loved ones.
