“As the girls’ baking and musical skills develop, we decided to share these with some neighbours and friends over the Christmas and New Year holiday. What fun it was baking and decorating Christmas cookies! It was even more fun knocking unannounced and seeing our neighbours’ surprised faces as we gave them a plate of cookies, sang a carol or two and explained this tradition of celebrating Christ’s birth. In November, Lydia [one of their daughters] publicly testified of her faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection as she and four other girls were baptised in our French church of 80+ members… Please join us in praying that these five girls would stand firm in their faith all the days of their lives and that our friends would see their need of salvation through Jesus.”
