Jesus said “Peace be unto you.” Luke 24:36
What a time we’re living in! Try to find a place on the earth where nothing is happening. You can’t! It seems like peace cannot be found.
I know in the States many are struggling financially. When it’s hard here, it’s difficult to imagine how bad it is for the rest of the world. But friends, if it’s hard here, it’s hard everywhere.
Jesus, the Prince of Peace, came to this earth so we could know the Father’s love. So we can have love, joy, hope and peace. He asks us to share those gifts with others.
The picture above was taken by me in Jerusalem at the Garden Tomb. Not far from where this picture was taken, Pastor Israel Pochtar and Voice of Judah Israel are helping families facing food insecurity, Holocaust survivors lacking basic needs, and people affected by the ongoing war with Hamas. Can you help them this Christmas? In addition to giving in Israel, we’re sending food and supplies to other nations around the world. We’re excited to share stories in 2025 with you of the impact your giving made around the world.
We pray you and your family have a blessed Christmas. Remember, the words of Isaiah, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” We can be at peace, even when the world is in chaos. Jesus is our peace. He is our hope. With your giving, we can share His hope with others.
Merry Christmas and may God richly bless you,
Steve and Diane Sumrall
