\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What a busy year it has been!\u00a0 Printing, folding, collating, stitching, cutting, bundling, boxing and shipping over half a million Gospel tracts; traveling to several states to sing, preach and present our printing ministry; serving at Joy Baptist Church (our home church);\u00a0 planning a Ladies\u2019 Retreat with approximately 180 in attendance; Jill speaking at a few ladies\u2019 meetings; Jill recording 52 weeks of \u201cMake Your Life Count\u201d programs for WVGV radio station;\u00a0 graduating Phillip from our homeschool and helping him enroll at Massillon Baptist College;\u00a0 sadly watching Jill\u2019s Mom go through the heart-wrenching journey of brain aneurysm, seizures, broken hip and finally a stroke, which landed her in a rehab \/ nursing home facility near us; helping them in as many ways as we are able to; enjoying our 25th wedding anniversary trip; planning Kaylee\u2019s wedding and watching her and Jonathan Hill join in Holy Matrimony on November 5th;\u00a0 celebrating new life as\u00a0\u00a0 Nathan & Nurie gave birth to our second grandbaby boy – Newman Christian Keller on November 16, 2022;\u00a0 and finally, rejoicing with Jonathan & Kaylee as they announced their 1st pregnancy (Kaylee is due August 28, 2023).\u00a0 It has been a full year that has led us to every facet of emotion\u2026..tears, joy, grief, laughter, exhaustion, rest, etc.\u00a0 Yet, as we look back, our hearts are full, filled with the goodness of God!
This time of year is a great time to reflect on why we do what we do.\u00a0 Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ was born and placed in a lowly manger.\u00a0 WHY?\u00a0 He was born to die on the Cross of Calvary to redeem us from our sin.\u00a0 He cared SO much, and it is an honor to be His messengers to bring the glorious message of the Gospel to others!\u00a0\u00a0 Recently, we went to a \u201cWalk Through Bethlehem\u201d presentation.\u00a0 It had horse-drawn wagons that could pull approximately 20 people in a large wagon.\u00a0 Jill commented on how strong the horses were. Sofia responded, \u201cI know!\u00a0 With all of us people put together, they are probably pulling like\u2026.100 pounds!!\u201d\u00a0 It was a precious moment that we all giggled about.\u00a0 Even the Amish man guiding the horses, laughed.\u00a0
We love getting reports from missionaries we ship our Gospel Tracts to.\u00a0 One was from Honduras.\u00a0 As this dear missionary family passed out the Spanish Smiley tracts they said, \u201cHere is a smile for you because God loves you\u201d.\u00a0 One man responded, \u201cThank You.\u00a0 That is what I needed today.\u00a0 I was missing my smile\u201d.\u00a0 Also, from missionaries in the Canary Islands who recently messaged us to let us know that three people received Christ after reading the Smiley Tract.\u00a0 Their names are – Aroa, Maria, and yRuben.\u00a0 We LOVE receiving these reports and it blesses our hearts through and through.
We love and appreciate you all and hope you have a VERY Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
