Boozhoo (Ojibwe for “Hello”),
We trust you had a Merry Christmas and a great start to the New Year!
Christmas Outreach
On December 21, we did a Birthday for Jesus outreach during our Family Sunday School. This year we focused in on the families that we have been working with since the summer. We put a form together for each parent to fill out so we could get specific Christmas presents for each child. Along with this form we invited each family to be in attendance for the Birthday for Jesus celebration, to come see their children open presents, listen to their children sing a couple songs they had been working on, and hear a clear gospel message. We had eight children from the reservation attend the Birthday for Jesus outreach! Unfortunately, none of the parents were present. The children had prepared very well to sing and we were able to livestream a video. They did a very good job! Some of the parents follow our church page on Facebook and responded positively to their children singing! Pray that these young people will understand the gospel and believe it. Pray for opportunities to give the gospel to their parents and that they will come with their children to services.
Winter Weather
January was a challenging month in regard to the weather here in northwest Minnesota. We have had to cancel service three times due to blizzard conditions and extreme cold temperatures. We are looking forward to warmer temperatures!
Family
Ezekiel and Isaiah turned 5 years old on January 4th. Thank you to all those that sent birthday cards to the twins. They got a thrill from opening each card.
Thank you to all the churches that have given an extra Christmas gift financially. We greatly appreciate your generosity to bless our family this past Christmas season!
Mii-gwech (Ojibwe for “Thank you”) for your faithfulness in prayer and financial support! May fruit abound to your account.
For the cause of Christ,
Marty, Logan Michelle, Aliza, Annie, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Max, and LuciEmma Roembke
