Thank you again for coming alongside us as partners in what Adventures in Missions has asked us to do. We are very grateful for your prayers for us and for our family.

We are scheduled to spend Christmas Day and New Years Day in the Philippines. We are going to the Philippines to spend time with the June and the September World Race teams. The September team is now in the Philippines. A planned debrief is to begin on December 28 and it is to run through January 1. As coaches for the September team, we are glad that it has worked out that we can spend almost a week with the team before their debrief begins. If you have not been tracking the World Race teams and would like to do so, you can by going to theworldrace.org and click on teams, choose which World Race team that you would like to know more about and then you can click on the World Race participants on that team to read their blogs. Please pray for safety, good health and a continued sense of God’s presence in the lives of each one on the September 2007 World Race.

Don and Connie are in South Africa. They went there to be a part of the ‘Awakening’ activities that have been scheduled for AIM’s short term teams that are now in Africa. Don and Connie have been very grateful for the encouragement and for the support that they have received since joining AIM. They were recently able to move into a house which they like very much. Don and Connie are only about $200 short now of the budgeted funds that AIM has asked them to raise for their monthly support needs. Please pray for wisdom for Don as he oversees AIM’s Ambassador program and for Connie as she continues to come alongside the AIM missionary kids and a number of the young women who are missionaries with AIM.

Please pray that we will have a smooth flight to and from the Philippines. Flying is something that Nancy does not enjoy. Thank you again for your faithful support. We are very grateful for your friendship and for your kindness. Because of the very tight World Race budget, we would like to cover all of our costs for each visit that we make with the September World Race team. The roundtrip tickets this time to the Philippines are $2125 apiece. If you are able to help with this amount, we know that AIM would be very grateful. We are very thankful for the special gifts that we received that helped cover about half of the flight costs of my roundtrip to Thailand.

We want to wish you a Christ-centered Christmas and a blessed New Year.

Gary and Nancy Lengkeek
