This was our school greeting at our annual Christmas Bazaar here at QCS. It was created by the elementary students. It is a reminder once again for the reason of the season - Jesus Christ. In Him we all have life and LIFE eternal. It is our prayer that you experience His presence each and every day as you continue to work in His kingdom and especially during this Christmas season. It is our prayer that you go forward each day living for Jesus wherever He has placed you for His service.

This is boss Vivien at QCS putting the finishing touches on the cement of the new septic tank cover. He is the 'boss' for all the national workers and does not like to do physical labour. Two men dug the 5 foot square hole through the rock with pic and shovel and pail 25 feet down in a week's time. The earth was so hard that the workers dug slots in the side to climb up the side of the septic system. With the earth as hard as rocks, I wonder how the absorption will be. Mary left her signature in the cement :-)

This past Friday the staff of Quisqueya Christian School gathered at deBlaeij's (CRWRC people) house once again for the traditional annual Christian dinner and caroling evening. Coby deBlaiij, teaches pre-kindergarten. There were at least 50 people present that night enjoying the fellowship, food and festive songs. The food for the evening was somewhat pot luck, with soups, chili, buns and of course the desserts after the caroling. We look forward to this event of fellowship and song each year. God is great. God is good. We thank him daily for His presence (presents) in our lives.

The children of the the church we attend, presented the Christmas concert entitled Jesus, There's Something About That Name, this Sonday evening. A 12 member choir sang the message of the new born King. The church was filled and enjoyed the Christmas message. We all need to remember the name of Jesus, because that name is above every name. Jesus!

May we all go forward in the power of that name every day as we live each day for Jesus.
