We had a simple but special dinner to celebrate Christmas and the end of the year with our Mission and Clinic staff.  Everyone took turns standing up and sharing a personal word about their year.  We were blessed to hear how after some very difficult circumstances (deaths of close family members, financial burdens, etc…) each person  was able to testify to God’s goodness and faithfulness in the midst of difficult circumstances.  That testimony and sharing time turned out to be one of the highlights of our Christmas!
