Merry Christmas Dear Friends!
We trust all of you are enjoying a wonderful Christmas time, remembering the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Allow me to briefly share a few things from all that has been happening here recently.
I wish you all could see it firsthand. The Lord keeps bringing new people to Himself, the church in Pelhrimov is growing, and we are more encouraged than ever before by the growth in numbers and also the growth in depth of the new disciples of Christ.
When you remember us, please, continue praying for those who have heard the Gospel, but have not responded yet. Pray with us specifically for Martin – father from the family where the mom and a sixteen year old son were baptized this past Fall. Martin is very very very near accepting Christ! And not just that, many conversations about the Gospel that he has are not just with us as pastors, but others from the church! Disciples making disciples!
Another person is Kuba – an 18 year old man who is deeply touched by the Lord, but is afraid to make a full commitment because the cost seems too high to him… I just shared with him yesterday that once he gives his life to Jesus, all these questions will be answered and there will be nothing to regret.
Marjanka is another one. She is the mother of a guy from our church. Some of the best questions we get come from her. She grew up in the Catholic church but never knew you can know Christ personally. We believe she is also very close to making a personal decision to follow Him.
I could continue with one story after another about the open hearts, and about God’s love and mercy in peoples’ lives. If you want more details, I would love to share with you.
For now, I want to wish you Blessed Christmas one more time, and Thank you again for being in this ministry with us so faithfully. We appreciate all of you and pray that the Lord would be your joy every day.
Vlada and Eliska Donat
