Merry Christmas

From

the Walker Family

Thank you for being a part of our adventure in 2016 and in years past. It has been a fun and adventurous one that is for sure.
We are reflecting this Christmas more than ever on the true beauty and meaning of Christmas. This is our first one separated but we are united in heart and know that God is using us all.
This past year we have leaned into God like never before and know a deeper love due to it. What a blessing that is.
Our pray for you is that you will know a deeper love in Jesus and trust Him more. And see how much you mean to Him! In this place of seeing ourselves as Jesus sees us is where our value, calling, and our destiny is birthed.
Love and blessings to you all!

It's official! Sammi has applied for Hillsong College in Australia. This has been a dream of hers for over 3 years so she has taken a step of faith and applied. She will pursue studies in music. If you would like more information or feel like you can sponsor her, please email her at sjw8611@yahoo.com.

Hannah is headed to Greece and the Middle East for 10 weeks for her Outreach. Please be praying for her and she is still about $300 short of her needed fees. It has been great to hear her stories of what God is teaching her. You can send her a Christmas note to hattiecat97@yahoo.com or any questions you might have about what she has been learning.

"I know I'm not very old but I remembered something from when I was little tonight."... is how Jesse started telling us a story as we sat relaxing after having cleaned up from the YWAM DR Christmas party in Santiago this past week. He told us of remembering when he was 8 and the older adult guys (mainly college age) would play with him when we first joined YWAM. He recalled how the older teens at Central Assembly and SAINTS used to pay attention to him when he was even younger. At the party he had played soccer and sang Christmas carols alongside 9, 10 and 11 year old YWAM boys from other YWAM DR bases.

"Now that I am older, I never want to forget to stop and play with little kids because I remembered what it meant to me at their age."

This Christmas season and all year, lets put into practice the life lesson that Jesse has learned. Let's remember to stop and play with people of all ages. The angels stopped and sang to declare Jesus's birth! The shepherds and wise men stopped to worship. Let's also stop and worship Jesus this Christmas. Not just in thought but also in our actions towards others.
