As Christmas comes we take time to reflect on the birth of Christ. Some of us celebrate advent to guide us in remembering that Jesus represents hope, love, joy, and peace. If ever there was a year that we needed those four things in our life, this is the year.
There was some normalcy though. One of the highlights that helped work feel normal this year was the opportunity that my team had to get together in person, in October. This was the first time we were able to do so since 2019. Many of our teammates had never met in person. It was funny to see who thought who would be taller, who would be shorter, and so on. We gathered in Alberta for five days to meet and talk. While we have certainly been meeting online using zoom a couple times every month, being in person is just different. Also, we can accomplish a lot! This is the Wycliffe Canada member care team.
Our vision is to:
through relationships and processes
so they can thrive in their roles."
Something else to celebrate this year is my 20th anniversary with Wycliffe. It's almost hard to imagine that so much time has passed. But taking a bit of time to reflect, a lot has certainly happened in those twenty years to help the time go by. The hope, love, joy and peace of Christ is needed wherever we live, Asia or Canada, by all people, those who know him and those who don't. Thank you for walking with me along the way, praying for and financially supporting the ministry that I am involved in.
As 2021 winds down, I want to Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
