Hi & blessing to all brothers and sisters, may our Lord give you all His peace.

It has been a very busy year for us here and sincerely we beg you all forgiveness. We have been so thankful that we can count on brothers and sisters like you that had held our familys entire situation in your prayers. Our son Elie is safe and well now. He had a urinary infection sickness and had been staying several days in the hospital. But His sickness has glorified our Father in heaven in so many ways. There is a moment in the public hospital, that daily they will give hot water to whoever patient want, a lady had ask but they say no. Elie and her mum pray at a time that is completely sure you won't get hot water and after praying, they ask and they get the water. Stephanie tells to all the mums there, you see we prayed that's why we got. So the next day a mum ask Elie to pray for her child and her also to be cure so that the hospital let them go back home and Elie pray and this family went that same day home. Another day a mum was shouting and running with her child who was near to death maybe and we all pray and her child were safe and Stephanie let her know that we have prayed Jesus for her and she was a Hindu. I spent at home a wonderful time with the Lord due of the sickness of my son. Since we are working more in having this same attitude or more even when trials are not here. Thank you for all your prayers; we never know how prayers work. We may pray for curing but it is more than that. Thank you brothers and sisters. Right now Stephanie is starting treatment about sinus problem, her nose sometimes bleed. The doctor said that if she dont get well she will have to do an operation. So as usual we ask your prayers. The kids just have their summer holiday which will end on the 8 January 2014. During school this year the rector of our boys school calls us because our boys were selling bottles caps. When we ask them why they

said that they were trying to help us to end the construction of our house. As we dont have any wall around our house, when we were in the church one Sunday someone came and stole our Labrador which we got it as a gift. So instead of ending the work inside I am working hard to be able to put a wall all around the house now. We have construct some stools with left overs wood from the construction of the house, this was great fun with the kids.

One of our main activities in the year is the Atelier de vacance, which many kids in the neighborhood come for playing, listening histories and doing manual activities. Its a great opportunity for us to meet there parent also. We had been doing this each April and August School holidays. And in December we do the holiday camp. This time it will be for one whole week, even that Stephanies sister is pregnant and the sickness of Stephanie, we are all working hard on this project. David (3rd photo) our brother his wife accepted to get baptize also this year, which is a great blessing for David and the whole church

We got the happiness of receiving our first guests, our brother and sister in Christ from France in our new house. Celine a student from our internship year in France and her husband Anderson and daughter Gabrielle came to visit us for 3 weeks. This was really refreshing for us to meet old friends in Christ and they gave lots of encouragements to our little congregation. You may think of many things that can happen to you when reading your bible, but our elder sister Marieclaude who read maybe more than all of us in our congregation, had attracted a Muslim girl in her neighborhood to come and join her in her reading and they have great discussion about Christ. Her name is Raffika, please pray for her and also for my friend whom I fight a lot in prayers for him about knowing God, his name is Harley and her wife Sandra.

Hope to be able to see many of you in the coming years in our house which is yours. May God our Father shower you all with all the blessings you need. We thank and love you all dear ones.

Wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year 2014
