On our way to Mexico!

Merry Christmas everyone! 

I’m writing from Denver, Colorado after driving all day from Montana.  We enjoyed a warmer day not having to add gas line antifreeze everytime we filled the tank like the first few days.  We really enjoyed Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning with our dear friends, Todd and Jenn and their kids, who we hadn’t seen for years.  They serve in a closed country on the other side of the globe and this would be our only chance to visit for the forseeable future.  They drove out to meet us in Regina from south of Winnipeg.  We are always inspired by their faithfulness to spreading the good news in the most challenging circumstances.  We thank God for the precious friends He has given us in this life and the moments He lets us share.

Tomorrow, we plan on visiting the Focus on the Family campus in Colorado Springs.  Our family enjoys the Adventures in Odyssey radio programs that they produce (and their other ministries) and so will visit Whit’s End as well as the other ministries there.

We plan on visiting our friend Michael From in Arizona before heading into Mexico as well.

These days of travel always turn out to be precious family time  that serves as a refocusing and refreshing time as we go between cultures and emotional departures and arrivals.  Thank you for your prayer as we depend on the Lord to protect us and keep our vehicle running over the many miles.

We look forward to getting home to Hermosillo.  There are many things on our mind and in our hearts as we head home.  Loved ones, new projects, needs, plans, challenges and dreams wait our arrival.  One very important prayer request we have is that God would pour out His wisdom upon us as we come back into ministry there.  Please pray that we would know what ministries and roles we should resume and what ones we should entrust to others that are ready.  Our desire is to see our church grow through the service of many in the ministries and responsablities that the Holy Spirit gifts them to take care of.

We always leave Canada regretting that time and circumstances haven’t let us visit all the friends and family we hoped to.  Please forgive us if we weren’t able to visit you or your church this time.

We have been amazed and humbled by the overwhelming generosity of God’s family over the last months.  The list of people we are forever indebted to is too long to begin mentioning names.  We simply have the best family in the universe (both our physical and spiritual families)!  THANK YOU!!!

I’ll sign off for now, thanking you for your prayer and hoping that you and your family enjoy celebrating the birth of our Saviour this Christmas season wrapped in His peace and joy. 

Joyfully serving the King of kings,

Greg Neufeld for the family
