We wish you the very best of this Christmas and the coming new year. Despite what some may say, there is so much to be thankful for and hope still abounds. The Lord is moving in our nation and we are more optimistic than ever about the future of the church in America and the future of our children.

Declining social and cultural conditions are actually serving to awaken many Christians from their slumber—to realize we have been too narrow in our understanding of mission and lackadaisical in pressing the kingdom. We are also seeing indications that a serious-minded generation of new believers is coming forward who take the words of Jesus seriously and are working in creative way to advance the kingdom. There are many hopeful signs!
