Dear friends and family,
We hope many of you had a chance to see family members and friends during the Christmas and New Year's season. This is what we've been up to:
Looking back - Christmas day was spent visiting the assembly at Lugunga for the closing meeting of their conference. The choirs sang enthusiastically and Luke preached a message from Matthew 1.
We welcomed the new year with a night of fun and fellowship with other missionaries in Kigoma. On the first Sunday of the year 4 believers from the local church were baptized. Please pray that these believers will continue to grow in maturity and be a witness for Christ.
Looking forward - we will all be going for a week-long evangelistic campaign on the 11th of this month to the villages of Kazilamihunda and Kasanda (where we lived for 8 months last year). The two vehicles are filling up fast with people, film equipment, generator, and boxes of Bibles. There will be seminars every morning, open air meetings in the afternoons, a visiting choir, and Christian films in the evenings. The days will be busy and full of activities. Please pray that this effort would draw many to Christ and strengthen the 2 local churches in that area.
Esther celebrated her 4th birthday with some friends and Emily is now 4 months old. Please pray that Emily's birth certificate will be issued so we can get her US passport.
We are grateful for your continued prayers and hope you have a blessed 2011.
In His Service,
Luke, Gina, Esther and Emily Johnson
