Dear Friends

Over the past week I've spent extra time in the prisons giving out the newly published Simple Bible: Gospels (Chinese edition)

For a while I found it hard to wish the men "Merry Christmas"....not so merry behind bars....so I started saying   "Christmas peace" as I shook their hands

But every one of them...hundreds of them...all replied "Merry Christmas"!

For the inmates Christmas is a time of hope, a time of joy....despite being behind bars

So too for people in grieving/unhappy/difficult situations: Christmas is a time of hope and peace

Thank God for Christmas!

------

On this 22nd of the month, Jesus please bless the people of Zhejiang
(Please join me in praying for one part of China each day of the month)

My Reading-Reflection-Prayer menu for today.
Let's use this menu to prepare for Christmas, 
just as Mary prepared for the first Christmas so long ago

Thank you for a prayer

God bless!

John W
