Pastors and Ministers of the Church,

The sacred season of the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior, brings to us the remembrance of the reason for the abundant grace of God given us by Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 1:4). The Salvation of God amongst us! To God be all the glory.

As I write today, only a few days before the Christmas celebrations, I am rejoicing in my spirit, for I know that there is coming a day in which we shall sing a great hallelujah chorus. We shall worship our Messiah, our Lord of lords and our King of kings! I’m looking for the day.

Looking ahead into 2014

As we look ahead to the year that we are about to cross over into, we are grateful for the move of God that we are witnessing within the fellowship. As we see those in the States reach out to the communities throughout our country, we are excited to see what God is doing. From the north to the south, we see the Lord opening many opportunities for the building of His Kingdom. As we continue to build the momentum for the Timothy Ministry, ministers and pastors are being raised up, and outreach ministries, new schools and congregations are being formed.

For those of you who are pressing on, laboring for the Lord Jesus, be reminded that time is short! Our Lord Jesus is returning and there are so many amongst us that are without the saving knowledge of the Lord. I encourage you, press on as never before. Let not the situations nor the voices of this world discourage you. You have been commissioned by the Lord God! Lift up the name of Jesus today!

As we continue to unite together now and into the season ahead, your special Christmas & New Years offering shall provide seed for the ministry on the horizon. May the love of Christ be your testimony. Thank you for your partnership today.

Blessings to you and your family,

Pastors Simeon & Marissa Strauser
