Christmas in the bush
Two days of travel over rough roads brought Pete and Charity Rogers and their family to a bush area for a mutually encouraging Christmas visit.
They were journeying to visit Anthony and Jennie Chee, who are ministering to the Yao people group. The Rogers family reports that the transition from their customary city location to the quiet countryside was a welcome change. So were the cooler temperatures.
The children of both families delighted in their own brand of fellowship and fun. Additionally, the fellowship shared by the two families enabled new levels of insight and new understanding in praying for each other.
But the greatest joy for Pete and Charity was to see this work, up-close and personal, for the first time, a work that their own ministry as support missionaries makes possible. They share their impressions that reaching the Yao people, who belong to a religious group that is hostile to Christianity, will be a challenging ministry.
Please pray for Anthony and Jennie Chee and their family as they immerse themselves in the Yao culture and continue to learn the language. The preparation season requires tremendous wisdom and will be acutely important in establishing readiness to begin to share the Gospel.
Please pray for God’s grace to actively prepare the hearts of the Yao people to hear the joyful truth and to embrace the Savior they need so much.
