Closed for the Christmas Season...

Hi there,

A Community savings group meets at a church in South Sudan.

I was disappointed when I saw these words in bold, red letters after looking up the farm we go to each year to cut down our Christmas tree. Now, do we need another tree? No. (We have three artificial ones already trimmed throughout the house). But this tradition is something we look forward to each year. So like other traditions, events and trips this year, we’ll pivot, adjust and be flexible. And we will focus on the joy that has shined so brightly in this season as well. My husband and I still have jobs. Our families are healthy. Technology has enabled us to FaceTime with nieces and nephews across the country. There is so much joy for us to focus on.

This week’s 35 second takes us to our program in South Sudan where we have seen growth in both the reach and the content of this ministry this year. This is just one of many joys of this year and we are thankful for your partnership that has made it possible.

With joy,

Sarah Herndon
