Christmas Greetings 2007

no@spam.com (Brenda Marshall) — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 12:44:33 UTC

Another year has passed and we are so grateful to God to be able to send you greetings again at this Christmas time.

The real spirit of Christmas never fades in our hearts; in fact it's growing stronger.

There is an excitement, as always with all the gifts, jingles and lights that are in the shops at this time of year, but there is also something SPECIAL moving through this land, you can feel it and we are beginning to see it in little pockets here and there, wrapped up in parcels of blessings.

Through you, your love and generous giving, we have been able to extend these blessings to others at home and across the seas to our extended family in Kenya.

Thank you for loving and caring and so making a difference in people's lives.

Following is a summary of some of the events that have happened in 2007.

The greatest gift of all time is JESUS and we pray His Spirit will be with you and your family at Christmas and throughout 2008.

With love and appreciation of your continued support.

Peacemakers have negotiated successfully the purchase of a parcel of land in the district of Embu, Central Kenya, in the locality where the work first begun in 1991. It is ¾ hectare in size, surrounded by farmers and relatives of responsible members of Peacemakers Kenya, therefore bringing security in its own way. It is also in the heart of rural Kenya where the people have mostly been remote from receiving benefits to meet their many needs.
