Dear Friends and Supporters,
We pray that this Christmas will be a blessing to you and your family. As
we think of He who humbled himself to be born in a stable, may we praise Him
for paying the price of our salvation on the cross.
Judy and I are planning on visiting the States between the end of January
2005 and mid-April 2005. We would like to visit as many churches as
possible and present our ministry. Our desire is to stimulate as much
prayer support as possible for this ministry in France.
If you would like for us to visit with your church during our stay, could
you send me the name and telephone number of the person that I should
contact or have them call us.
We now have a VOIP telephone (internet based) which gives us a telephone
number in Kansas (even though we are in France) (913)871-4427. Either we
will contact the person that you indicate or they can call us at this
number. (remenber, we are 6 hours later than eastern time).
We are looking foward to sharing with as many as possible during our stay.
May the Lord Bless you as you serve Him.

Dear Friends and Supporters,
First off, we want to wish you a merry Christmas and may our Lord give you
the best for this next year.
We have a few prayer request to share with you:
After four years of a slow physical decline, Judy's mom went home to be with
the Lord this last Sunday. Judy flew from Paris this morning and will be
with her family for the funeral this Saturday. She will return to France
next Thursday.
On the 24th, we will have our Christmas program. Please pray that this will
be an opportunity for some unsaved to hear the gospel.
The each year we organize a New years evening meal and this has always been
an excellent event to invite friends and contacts to share an evening with
our church people and hear the good news of salvation.
We have had a problem with the junior high kids from a school near our
church, who have been kicking the door of the church on their way to and
from school. I went to the city hall for this section of town and the Marie
for our neighborhood has contacted the school and some social workers, who
are trying to end this problem. One good thing that has come out of this
problem is the contacts with different people that have been involved in
trying to solve the problem. Please do pray for the salvation of these
young people as well as for the contacts that we have had.
Some of the students from the Bible Institute in Paris have been coming up
here one weekend per month. This has been a blessing. Praise the Lord for
those the Lord has sent to the Institute this year.
Recently, we have acquired a VOIP phone with Lingo.com, this works over our
Internet connection and it gives us unlimited free calling to anywhere in
the States and Western Europe. And it gives us a telephone number in the
States (1-913-871-4427). Send us your telephone number or call us with this
number. We will be glad to hear from you.
We are looking forward to visiting the States between the end of January and
mid April. If you would like us to visit with your church, please let us
know.
May the Lord bless.
Yours in Christ,
Greg and Judy Sirmons
