Dear Friends,
We hope this letter finds you in a place of faith and hope. Our prayer is that all God has put on your heart will bring fruit and life.
During the beginning of February all the NLI staff gathered at our new international office in Coventry and had a chance to share, plan and strategize about the work God has for us this coming year. We were also able to mail out our annual NLI Dream Magazine, we hope that the dream magazine challenges, inspires and informs the reader about all that NLI is doing here in Europe. We are privileged to be a part of this great work and being ambassadors of Jesus to the nations and people of Europe.
If you would like to make sure you receive your own copy of the NLI Dream magazine send me your mailing address and I will make sure we send you one.
We are currently asking Jesus to help us as we walk through this busy season of our lives. As you may know we are in preparation for our move back to Canada in March. We are excited about the move but sad to be leaving our friends and colleagues that we have grown to love and cherish here in the UK & Europe. We are glad that God is still calling us to this continent and we will have a chance to stay connect with them.
We just want to thank you for all you have invested in us to make the work that we are a part of possible. We are so grateful for all the relationships God has given us and we know we could not do this eternal work alone. Thank you for sharing in the eternal fruits of our labour as we journey together.
Here is an outline of what we have in store for 2010. We are trusting Jesus to make it as fruitful and focused as it can be with all that is going on in the next 11 months.
