“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given;
and the government will be upon His shoulder,
and His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor,
Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Isaiah 9:6
Greetings to you all in the matchless grace of God!
Nan and I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a blessed Christmas and a joy-filled New Year. We want to thank each and every one of you for your faithful prayers and support over the last year. It has accomplished much overseas in the areas we are working, as well as here at home.
We are making plans for the coming year for some blessed conferences with Pastor Faisal and the great saints in Pakistan. Later, we plan to hold Pastor’s conference in India and then join the students at the Kihoto Theological College, to bring support for the students we sponsor and spend some wonderful time together in God’s Word. We always enjoy after-class time in answering questions and having fellowship around the fire. On this same trip, we hope to meet with a former student, who is now working in a very remote and sometimes dangerous area of Burma, looking at a future visit to his area of ministry.
Our days continue to be very busy, and we are thankful for the strength and health that God has allowed us at this stage of our race. We are quite involved in our local church, as well as my Friday night home class in Camp Verde. Nan is busy with ladies’ and children’s ministry at our church and teaches a weekly Good News Club at a local school. I spend most of my days in study for current classes as well as preparing for upcoming conferences.
Then, of course, there are horses that need worked, hay to be bought and hauled, wood to be chopped, and grandkids who just love to come over to Nana and Papa’s house. They fill our house with joy, and the sound of little children’s laughter is one of the most blessed things to hear in this world. Very few grandchildren have a Nana that will get down on the floor for games, or chase them around the yard, like Nan does!
Speaking of conferences, we will very soon send out information for our July 4th conference (July 3–5, 2026), which is going to be a great celebration of God’s grace and mercy on this Nation for 250 years. I hope many of you will be able to join us for “Let Freedom Ring—A Call to America to Come Back to Freedom in Christ.” The theme will be built upon Galatians 5:1.
May God richly bless and keep each one of you in this coming year, and may you have a very Christ-centered Christmas!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Gene and Nan
