From December 6, 2006

Dear sister Char & everyone at OJP,

Greetings to you in the name of Lord Jesus Christ. We received the gift you sent by Ikobo for the Christmas feast. Yesterday, our electricity lines were connected to the main grid! We now have electricity power in the house. We are thankful that our heavenly Father is caring and providing for us as is promised in the Scriptures.

Already, there are lamps installed in all the rooms. We are currently using charcoal and locally made stove for cooking and heating. We are in dire need of portable electric cooker, and "Pressing Iron" for our clothes. To get all the basics electrical appliances, it will cost around $200. Please, we are appealing to you to pray and seek the mind of Jesus about helping us to get these electrical appliances.

As usual, extend our greetings, love and thanks to your families and to the brethren there at Operation Jesus Pictures - USA. We look forward to hearing from you again.

The reaction of the children's to the gifts is excitement!

Greetings in the great name of Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks for your last emails, and for providing the online chat information. I pray that I will be able to meet you there sometime soon! We are so glad to hear about the banner and the large pictures that is coming on the way! Let Stephen that made the banner knows that we so much appreciate the art work, and we pray God's blessing upon him.

The reaction of the children's to the gifts is excitement! All so much appreciate the gifts chosen especially for them. Every child received what they like the most - we are amazed that you make the choice for their gifts in accordance to what they like. All the gifts were FAVORITE! When we told the children that it is all from Jesus, they start singing our favorite chorus:

Thank you Jesus(3x)

Thank you my Lord

The gifts demonstrate a lot of things, it also shows the love of Christ in reality to these little children. We all admire the purple dinosaur as it sings. When the banner arrives, we hope to send more pictures with it as we are able.

Extend our greetings, love and thanks to everyone there.

Christmas Package received!

Dear Char & everyone at OJP,

Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are very glad to inform you that the package arrived yesterday safely - with all the included cash intact! We retrieved it with approximately US $20 because of its size and the quantity of the items.

Since yesterday, all the children are filled with great joy! I can't equally conveyed their thanks to you all by email, but all expressions can be summarize as "thank you very much". All parents too are so grateful, and we rejoice that Jesus is blessing us in this way through you. I also want to say thank you for the gift of the Bible. I dedicate it to the work of our Lord here, and through it, that the work will multiply and that the Father himself will do great works in our midst. That the eyes of the blind will be opened and the tongue of the dumb will sing for joy.We hope that you received the email we sent two days ago informing you that we have electricity connected now.

May the Lord continue to use us for His glory and eternal purpose. Extend our greetings, love and joy to our brothers and sisters there at OJP - USA! We look forward to hearing from you!
Your brother,
Joseph & the brethren here
