The greatest Gift

	"Be encouraged as you serve Him"— the newsletter from Waldens
	Outreach to Slavic people continues. Report of Leon & Ann Chechowich
	"The helmet and the sword". — From Tim Semenchuk

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:13

For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16

December 2012

These Bible verses remind us that God loves us and has given the greatest gift to the world— eternal life — and that life is in His Son, Jesus Christ. This time of year we celebrate Jesus birth and as a result can praise God for the gift of salvation and eternal life that was given to us through this Immaculate Conception.

Christmas is a holiday not just for those of us here in the United States, but it is one that is celebrated worldwide as Christ was born to die for us all! As we celebrate and give gifts this season, may we all be mindful of the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ. As God has poured down His love on us, may we in turn love those around us and share His love with others in word and in deed.

Thank you for showing us your love as you support the worldwide outreach of SMS through prayer and gift! Merry Christmas!

Sincerely,

Alex Leonovich,

Executive Director
