Are You Thinking Christmas? By Mary Tesser

Yes, it’s time…time to think Christmas! Time to cele-
brate God’s good news. Time to stretch beyond ourselves
and be a blessing to others. First Federated has chosen
two important projects for
this Christmas season. Your gift can bring
Today we kick off
Operation Christmas Child, love, joy and hope
a project of Samaritan’s in the midst of the
Purse, the international relief most desperate
organization headed by Franklin circumstances
Graham. Since 1993, Operation
Christmas Child has distributed imaginable.
over 69 million gift-filled shoe boxes
to needy children in over 130 countries. Last year 511 of
those boxes came from FFC. Our goal this year is 600!
What difference can one small box make to a child who needs so much? Your gift
can bring love, joy and hope in the midst of the most desperate circumstances imagin-
able. It brings a message to a child that says “I am loved.” While the toys and gifts are
a wonderful expression of kindness, Operation Christmas Child is ultimately about
sharing much more. It is about offering a true and lasting treasure—the message of
God’s greatest gift to mankind through His Son Jesus Christ.
Proverbs 18:16 says, “A gift makes way for the giver…” and that has proven true
with shoe box gifts. These gifts open the door for local churches to share the Gospel
message, distribute Bible study materials, and offer follow-up discipleship programs
to children and their families. Entire communities have been introduced to the love
of Jesus through this ministry. Again and again shoe box distributions have been
welcomed in countries that are otherwise closed or hostile to the Gospel.
This year Samaritan’s Purse has added an exciting new feature. If you make your
donation ($7 or more per box) for shipping and follow-up materials online, you can
print a bar-coded label to attach to your shoe box. When your box is shipped to its
destination country, you’ll receive an email telling
you where your box is going. You’ll be able to pray
Show Your Love more specifically…and maybe learn a little world
geography, too!

 MISSION ONE Reaching others for Jesus Christ

IRAN 30, Discover, Pray, Transform Lee & Michelle Sonius

“Meeting in Homes, It’s Safer
“In 1996, after the murder
of Muslim convert pastor
Mohammad Yusefi, Christian
leaders decided the future
of the church had to be
underground. The govern-
ment would never allow an
evangelical church to grow in
great numbers.
“Though church buildings
stayed open, the main work focused
on house churches, which have flourished.
Nobody knows exactly how many groups there are, but a cautious
estimate would be several hundred in ten or more networks.
“The house church Christians are passionate evangelists, but
they need to be cautious about security. Seekers are first met in a
public place, and they are not introduced to a house church until
the leaders are completely sure they are genuine. Infiltrators are a
constant threat.
“For the new believer the invitation to a house group meeting,
rather than to a conspicuous church building is welcome.
“The meeting has to appear like a social gathering and to be
quiet so not to arouse the suspicions of neighbors. For the same
reason, the meeting place keeps changing.
Pray for House Churches:
• For hundreds of house church meetings today in Iran. Pray
they will multiply.
• For constant wisdom so neighbors do not report on the house
churches. Against infiltrators.
Peter & Marta Hocking
Mission Board: Segadores (Reapers)
Location: Lima, Peru
What do they do? Peter directs the
Segadores Missionary Association,
teaching, counseling and training
national missionaries with the goal
of sending them to unreached tribes in Peru. Segadores has
planted several churches. Both are involved in counseling
ministry. Peter, one of the founders, grew up in Peru as
the son of missionaries. Marta, raised in Venezuela, is the
daughter of our first FFC missionary, the late Edna Dade.
Prayer Requests:
• For fruit from Peter’s training programs.
• For God’s protection of their Segadores co-workers in their
ministry to the Ashaninkas; for evil efforts to be foiled.
• Guidance and protection of 3 Guatemalan missionary train-
ees as they serve 3 months.
• For long-term friends who struggle with “impossible” situations.
• For useful contacts to be made to reach the 20 unreached
tribes of Peru.
First Federated Church
Mission Board: HCJB Global
Location: Accra, Ghana
What do they do?
Lee is Regional
Director for Sub-
Saharan Africa
for HCJB Global.
HCJB works in
partnership with
other ministries to
start Christian FM radio stations. Lee guides and nurtures
the team in the region; men and women whose ministries
touch the lives of thousands through media and health care.
Michelle’s role is equally important, both as Lee’s life part-
ner and as the person that many women in the region look to
for counsel, nurture and as a role model.
Praises:
• For safety on furlough as they traveled 13,000 miles this
summer and connected with many people.
Prayer Requests:
• For Jeremy Maller as he and others install 4 FM stations in
Ghana. Pray the installations go well and that station manag-
ers develop programming that will draw their communities to
Christ.
• For the remainder of their monthly support needs ($900).
That they will be ready to return in January 2010.
• For radio partners in Kenya as they minister in difficult times
(extreme drought, livestock and people dying of starvation).
• For God to send rain to Kenya.
Mike & Sue, One Son
Closed Country
What do they do? Mike and Sue were church planters primar-
ily among business people in West Africa. They recently
changed locations, moving to a city of 220,000. Mike is cur-
rently the international pastor of the only protestant church
in their city, made up of expatriates. Sue plans and leads
music for the church. They see people coming to the Lord
often. Sue is the sister of John Porter.
Praises:
• They have been granted their temporary resident visa.
• For good meetings with the mayor, head of tourism, heads of
anti-terrorism and visa police.
• For many Catholics who also worship at their church building.
Prayer Requests:
• For their resident visas which are valid for one year.
• For wisdom in learning the culture and customs.
• For traveling mercies over narrow roads.
• For them to feel at ease in new places and situations.
