December 2003

Merry Christmas from the Stewart house. We pray you will enjoy the Christmas season with family and friends, reflecting on the true meaning of Christ's birth. We are thankful for each one who has touched our lives in many ways. Thank-you! We are looking forward to returning to Bolivia during the summer of 2004. Pray for all the details to be worked out and for additional prayer and financial needs to be met.
