Dear Friends,

May the Lord richly bless you this Christmas Season! We want you all to know how much we appreciate you and how God is using you to reach desperate kids with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We know your hearts for prayer and giving is amazing and brings glory to the Lord.

A few prayer requests for The Joshua Project this week...

· As most of you know, Christmas is a really great time for us to reach more children and families than ever before with the Gospel. We do this in a number of ways.... Stockings with tracts in them, clothing bags with a bible and tract in them, and Christmas food boxes with special Christmas tracts and bibles. We really want to give out 100 food boxes this year. However, only 4 have been donated so far. Please pray for more people to give these wonderful food boxes. They are a great tool for sharing the love and hope of Jesus. If you would like to sponsor a family food box this year they are $35 a box. You and your family can give a Romanian Family a Christmas Meal to remember...for more details please e-mail Tresha at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

· Please be in prayer for the new children we are serving with Sfanta Maria Orphanage. Especially for Andreea, Marco, and Mariana who are extremely curious about the love of Jesus. Some are either learning and/or physically challenged, but the Lord is working miracles in their lives. They have started coming to our youth church on Friday nights and are integrating well. We are praying that God continues to bring these three to the day center, so that they can go back to the orphanage to share the love of Christ with the others.

· Please pray for our team.... We have had some challenges getting our visas for Romania. We are temporarily on visitor visas, but would really like to get our long term visas resolved soon. The people submitting the paperwork for us don't seem to know what papers are still needed. Ah Romania, we just all need to pray and God will take care of it. Also, continue to pray for health, finances, and continued unity.

· Please pray for the Hospital Ministries in Timisoara and Resita that we can come alongside the kids and bring help and encouragement to these precious ones dying without Christ. We will begin an expansion project in January and are praying about a Day Center project there as well.

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a blessed and fruitful New Year! And remember, your prayers change lives!

Love and Prayers, Tresha, Andy, Claudia, Tony, and Amy for all the kids here at the Joshua Project
