The year that was ...

We have had a number of highlights in the last quarter of 2009. Firstly was the 10thanniversary celebration of International Student Ministries of New Zealand in October. This is the ministry Saling and I have been involved with in the last eight years. This was coupled by the birthday celebrations of Saling and Sarah who both have the same birthdays. Secondly, Saling and I celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary in November. We have seen and experienced God’s loving grace through these years. And thirdly, we moved to another house in December. In all of these, God has brought people along our journey that have either ministered to us or we have ministered to. Hence, we are thankful to God for them all and for their part in our lives. So as 2009 comes to a close, we thank God for all His goodness and for the work that He has accomplished this year.


Participants to the ISM Conference from 14 countries


A blessed Christmas to all from the Garcia family.
