Nora and I are so looking forward to this deeper journey with you, in-Him(Christ) in this gift of a New Year!

At our stage of life, we are exhausted of “resolutions” 🤔😊 … and breathe much deeper of life as “Way”, “Truth”, and “Life”, … all of which are truly Him, Christ the LORD.  John 14:5   Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” 

We are looking into 2024 with desires of our cup being filled of the Lord, and any resulting fruit of an overflow will be just that, a simple overflow of Him into the lives of others … regardless of if it’s helping impoverished villages/refugees into freedom, and/or helping others individually and collectively in their deep journey in knowing Christ intimately more and more. 

If you have prayed, and the Lord is leading you clearly, we would be extremely privileged to have you join us in all this! 🥰  Joining us on this journey is not and never “about” “money”.  May the LORD forbid such a thing.  In fact, it is not “about” anything.  Rather, it is a journey of entrance and invitation … to a relating well, an appropriateness in relating and relationship for each person.  For some it is primarily a journey of prayer, or a text, or phone call, eMail, note, etc., even dare we say, a FB conversation, and the like.  Others might also like to give and relate financially.  Nora and I have received a good number of texts and phone calls from others, in this Christmas EOY times.  Each has been so very good!  😊 

This EOY is simply a jog-reminder that we all (you and I) need all the above.  And if giving financially is what you’d like, what Spirit is prompting, then so be that well, as well also. 

If in your relating promptings and styles, you would like to be a part of our EOY “pull” into 2024, financially … we’d like to make this simply a gentle reminder and easy path.  Clicking on the following link is best.  If you’d like any other method, please contact us directly. 

Nora and I are so very thankful for your relating to us in every and all ways!!!  If anything, we want 2024 to be a year of relating more into your journey and ours!  Grateful and abundant love … Dan and Nora

What a great Christmas gift; you and I participating in this life of X(person) (in a very closed country), as he tangibly and in presence, shares the love of Christ, in word and deed!  
Nora and I are so grateful to have you in our lives, sharing Christ together in all our contexts of life!  Hear these words of X. a man and his family, we support via our work from here to there, as we listen to his struggles yet deep joys in this also his Christmas season

… 
I had a plan to go to H. Province in the west of the country to meet the people affected by the recent earthquakes and also meet the people recently deported from P. and I.(countries)
Got to H., and went to K.S. village affected by earthquakes. 
I saw people live in the tents outside almost all of the muddy houses are demolished. 
Quotes from another X. helped … 
“It was around 11.30am when something like a strong wind came and the ground shook, collapsing the whole village. Only a few people survived.” 
“I was working outside that morning and had gone home to have lunch with my mother and four sisters. Just as I was about to leave, the earthquake struck. I wanted to run outside but was trapped when the wall fell on me. My sisters heard my voice and as they were also trying to run the roof fell on them.” 
“I shouted and people came and pulled me out. I lost consciousness and when I woke up, I was at the hospital with a bandage on my hand and an IV line running into my arm. That’s when I realized what had happened. I still hear the tremors in my head.” 
——————
We had food and three tents distributed for those who have not.
After the distribution the villagers asked us to have tea inside the tent, I heard shocking stories the same above from other men. 
Found the opportunity to share the good news with the villagers and prayed for them, they were so much grateful from our sympathy for them. 
In H. city I met tens of deportees mostly young people, they were deported from I. and P., had nothing to eat or changes of clothes to wear.
Just front of the main bus terminal I met 30 years old man walking, he had no money even to go to his home, desperately asking people for to help him.
He was telling me stories how the I. police caught him and kicked him out of the country, he used to work on a cow farm, and the police didn’t let him take his clothes.
Just gave him some money so that he can get to his home, he was so excited hugged me and tears were running from his eyes. The good news I shared with him and other deportees in H. and I am grateful to have the good news in me to share with them. 
Praying that many others can receive the word in H. and that the good news can be planted in K.S. 
In close, future I planned to celebrate the birth of our Jesus with those in B. 
So it is time to say Thank you again for your prayers and help, have a very merry Christmas and blessed new year. 
X.

 

A full and Joyful Christmas to you! 

Loving you and joyful in this precious journey of faith with us and those so many like X.!

From pre-Thanksgiving preps and dinner … into today … Nora and I hope for you the very best of a Happy Thanksgiving with your family and friends!!! ❤️😊

Flux points are many times, a phase of re-evaluation, whereby we recalibrate a needful ‘something’. Nora and I are in such a phase. And it has been a truly good one for us. We don’t sense any anxiety or deep fear as we move through these waters of transition. In fact, so far, we have discovered a genuine openness in both our hearts and the hearts of all involved in this change, including you.

We have had over twelve years of beautiful ministry in relationships and sustainability, in GHNI. We sense from them, a full measure of blessing as we pivot into GSA – Global Service Associates from GHNI. Everyone is desiring what is best for us! It means a lot! And so while we are open to a “volunteer” status with GHNI, we are doing a full swing into GSA, allowing us to continue expanding our lives, and the type of ministry we sense I am being led into, into other lives and organizations that need spiritual direction alongside our experiences in sustainable development. From GSA it allows us this needful forward organizational pivot-point of flexibility to expand spiritual development in others’ lives, while still fully able to retrieve all the good resources of vast experiences from our time with GHNI. Nora and I are grateful in how you have joined us in this inflection point.

So for now, as this transition continues to unfold, Nora and I are asking you to continue in this journey with us. Firstly, you can pray that we will be able to wrap up any loose ends with GHNI by the end of year ’23, while equally unfolding how we will continue to serve as “volunteers” and non-staff with them. Secondly, you can pray that we will continue to move in all the right directions in serving the people, leadership, and organizations we would like to partner with, via GSA. You have already seen a lot of this partnering, during my trips and labors in the Middle East.

Lastly, you can pray that we will be able to move all of our financial donations over to GSA as quickly and cleanly as possible. One path in helping us in this is for you to start your financial gifts to GSA as soon as possible. If you have any questions on how to do this, please feel free to contact us, via the contact information in our MailChimp updates and hardcopy letters. Otherwise, you can also leave a message via this WordPress site response link.

All future financial gifts are to be either mailed to:

Global Service Associates 
P.O. Box 20425
Boulder,   CO   80308-3425

There will be a lot more news ahead, especially as we wrap up 2023 and head into the new year of 2024. Nora and I express to you our deep gratitude in your love and commitment to us, especially in this new aim!
