"Tie your shoes and pray for the Hughes" |
Dear Friends,
As there probably were in your church, we had
several special events focusing on our
Savior’s birth. In addition to
special music through the season and messages, we had a carol sing on the
morning of the 25th. Viola
and our coworkers’ kids prepared a small play depicting key moments of the
Christmas story. They presented that on
December 28th. It was their
first time acting in a play (or directing) and they did really well.
On January 6th and 8th
we had outreaches for kids with the
theme “The Wise Still Seek Him.” At the
Grosses house we had 21 kids, all who had come to a program in the past. In Bulboci 13 kids from 4 different villages
participated. In each place the kids
cooperated and paid good attention to the lesson. May the Lord us the seed of His Word in their
hearts!

Several of us went caroling in the villages of Bulboci and Regina Maria on January 7th
(a day many celebrate Christmas). In
addition to singing we invited to the outreach the following day and passed out
2026 calendars that our ministry provided.
Maybe I’m mistaken, but in the past it seemed people more reluctantly
received us to carol but this year more gladly.

Viola is doing well recovering from a minor surgery on her nose. The doctor straightened her septum (the bone
and cartilage wall that divides the nasal cavity in two) and corrected another
minor problem that was found during surgery.
She stayed one night in the hospital and since has been resting and
healing up at home. Next week she is
supposed to have a follow-up visit with the doctor.
We don’t
have any big plans for the upcoming month – just weekly services,
individual studies, typical errands and planning for spring events. Thank you for your prayers. May the Lord keep you in the upcoming days.
In His service,
Jacob and Viola Hughes
