Merry Christmas in the Lord,

Jesus has come! What wonderful news. Gospel means “Good News”. Have you looked closely to the words spoken by the angel to the shepherds at Jesus birth? Luke 2:10-11:

“But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; his is the Messiah, the Lord.”

It just would not be as impacting if the angel said: “I bring them good news.” No, it says “I bring YOU good news”. It is personal and for each of us individually and available to all. Jesus Christ is that good news.

I just want to share some exciting updates of the ministry opportunities that God has been bringing to me. This year I have had a number of preaching opportunities in different churches. Recently as I preached in one church the Holy Spirit came and really impacted a number of people with His truth.

I have just stepped into a new role of mentoring young adults as a group and then hopefully meetings with some of them individually as well. Just this past week I started mentoring another young man and our first meeting was powerful and rich as I felt God really met with us during our time together. I am grateful for the pastors I meet with that seem to be encouraged through the ministry.

I want to thank each of you for your part in this ministry as you offer your support in your prayers and your giving. You are investing in those who bring the Good News of the Gospel to others just as the shepherds did that first Christmas day. May we all seek Him out for ourselves and see for ourselves that Jesus is real, just as the angels declared!

May your Christmas be rich in love and worship of the resurrected Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May we all live looking forward to His coming again!

Prayer concerns:
1) Praise for Pastor Lafe’s healing from his cancer.
2) God’s blessing on these new opportunities mentoring the next generation
3) Raising some more support to be freed up to invest more time in the ministry.

Please let us know how we can be praying for you as well. You can send your prayer request to: rr_messer@hotmail.com

God bless! Pastor Rick Messer / Pastor of a church without walls.
