We pray that you had a wonderful Christmas and the opportunity to spend some meaningful time with family. I know that we did and we are so thankful to the large number of people that have made this possible. We would like to start off by updating you on the church plant in Santa Cruz, California. If you remember, in May 2017 we helped our friends and fellow missionaries, the Hansons, move back to their hometown to plant a bilingual church. They began their work by starting a life (fellowship) group in their home. It wasn&amp;rsquo;t long before they outgrew their home and moved the group meetings to the coffee house located at Santa Cruz Bible Church.  &lt;strong>On November 4th, we had the opportunity to attend and help serve at the launch service for Santa Cruz Bilingual Church.&lt;/strong> Kristy, William, Brian &amp;amp; Brittany, as well as our friend, David, had the privilege of leading worship. Two members of SCBC&amp;rsquo;s worship team, Melissa &amp;amp; Caleb Hanson, joined us. It was a meaningful time of worship and Pastor Michael did an awesome job preaching God&amp;rsquo;s word. We were blessed, and we pray that all who attended were blessed as well.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
