The Year that "Zoom" Stole Christmas

Merry Christmas from Tennessee! We've been in several virtual Zoom Christmas parties with ministry and fellowship groups in the last couple of days. We are also eagerly awaiting the arrival of Heather and Krista shortly before Christmas. Heather had a few travel snafus but made it to Atlanta last Friday and is quarantining with Krista. Thanks for your prayers.

As we close out this crazy year we have a special request for you to consider. Back in 2017 we brought you the story of the House of Success. We got involved bringing Christian education to some Pakistani children who were undocumented, living in Chiang Mai. The families had left Pakistan because of lack of economic opportunity due to persecution from the Muslim majority people. The Lord provided funds through generous donations for the school to run for a year and a half and 9 kids got back on track with their education. Due to their illegal status the families had to return and the "House of Success" Christian School closed --- in Thailand. But the ACE curriculum was packed up and taken to Pakistan where House of Success 2.0 was started. They now have 130 students but Covid has created financial problems for a number of the parents who have lost their jobs. Our friends in the House of Success have asked us if we could help them raise $3000 to pay a portion of their curriculum bill at the School of Tomorrow in the US.  In response to this we have revived the "House of Success" project fund and would ask you to consider a gift that will help Pakistani Christian families in this time of need.
