Dear friends
just a note to send you Season’s Greetings from Tramore, and to wish you all a
Happy Christmas and a great New Year. I also want to fill you in on what I have
been up to this past year and what I hope to do in the year to come. Thanks to
you all for your continued support, love Charis x
Luke 2:11
“This very day in King David’s hometown a
Saviour was born for you. He is Christ the Lord.”
# It is hard to believe that I have been working here in Tramore with
European Christian Mission (E.C.M) for nearly 2 years now!
# It has been a year of ups and downs, it continues to be great to be able
to tell boys and girls the good news about Jesus (as my job), but it can be
hard to be restricted in what I can do due to manpower issues!
# I was at my first E.C.M bi-annual conference this year (in Croatia), it
was good to meet some of the wider ECM family and also nice to fit in a couple
of days in Venice on my way there too!
# I continued to run a kids club in a local estate up until last term, when
we had to pause it as I did not have enough people to help run it, and I wanted
to start some schools work, please pray we will be able to get it started again
in 2015
# I was able to run three 5 day clubs in July /Aug with the help of united
beach missions.
# I was recently in 2 local schools with the amazing Journey presentation and
I hope to follow up on this and do more schools work in 2015
# I had to move house again during
the year which was hard as I had just settled into the other house and it took
a lot of work and energy to move again and I am still not fully settled in yet (please
note my new address), hopefully I won’t have to move again in 2015!!
# My good friend Claire got married in November which was a happy occasion
but we have lost her to Northern Ireland!
# Family news: My sister Joanna and
her boyfriend Gavin moved to Australia in July so we will be missing them this
Christmas. My Niece Hannah turned 1 and my nephew Ethan turned 4 in Nov. My mum continues to have ongoing health issues
but she never complains and always has a smile on her face, she continues to
help others as much as she can and is a real inspiration to us all!
# I want to thank God for His
continued financial provision and support through 2014 and to thank all of you
who faithfully support me with money and in prayer.
I hope
you all have a great Christmas love Charis xx
