Christmas Newsletter

Welcome to this year's Christmas letter.

Julie, Lydia, and I have been serving as missionaries with the Society of
Anglican Missionaries and Senders (SAMS), Julie and I as seminary
professors at Saints Augustine Anglican Seminary in Lima, and as clergy
licensed to serve in the Anglican Diocese of Peru. We have taught quite a
few courses this year, and we are preparing for 2011, which includes
preparing to create and teach Spanish on-line courses, reaching people
across Peru, across South America, and potentially into North America as
well.

Julie continues to coordinate the CEMO process for the Diocese of Peru
(commission on ministry equivalent. Our main parish has been La Ascension in the Surco District of Lima, though we have been out and about a bit to help
out at various missions and at the Cathedral.

Lydia has been accepted into Gordon College. She continues to homeschool and has been taking an AP English course and some computer courses at a nearby international Christian School. Lydia has been helping with youth ministry.

Hannah graduated from Trinity School for Ministry with special awards, and she was ordained a deacon in the Diocese of Albany in June. She will be ordained a priest in about a week or so in 2010. She and seminary classmate Christina Vance have started a church plant, Oaks of Righteousness, in Troy, New York, as part of the Diocese of Albany. A dynamic duo. If you need prayer, or are looking for a church plant, contact Hannah or Christina.

Ruth has moved out closer to Wheaton, Illinois, where she attends the Church of the Resurrection. She is pursuing her life as a cellist. She is a great teacher, and if you need cello lessons or wedding music, contact Ruth.

We love what we are doing as missionaries. It has had its moments, but overall, it has been great. Our missionary blogsite has our weekly prayer mail updates and monthly newsletters.

A short term mission team from the Diocese of Albany and friends came down in July. Our Bp. Diocesan, Bill Love,and Karen and Catie were part of that team. An outstanding mission team, helping out at several missions in Lima.

That is 2010 for us in a nutshell. God bless you, and have a fruitful New Year! Thank you for your continuing support,in prayer and with finances. You are our lifeline, and I pray for you, every day.
