Amen and amen. God, you are so good. Would you join me in a word of prayer? Lord, we thank you for your goodness, Lord. There's so much to be thankful for and grateful for Lord. Of course, at the top of the list is your son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we thank you for salvation. Lord, would you speak to us in your word this morning? Would you guide us and lead us, Lord? Would

you teach us this morning? We pray. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. Amen. Good morning and welcome.

So they have an outreach for that. So Lord willing and if we're still here, I'm hoping to provide

ongoing updates on our Israel mission support as well. But now we're really excited to have

Wally Amara and the Nepal missions team come up and share and then we're going to have a time

of prayer to send them off. They leave Wednesday for Nepal on a medical missions trip and they will

return on Saturday, December 16th. So I asked them to come up and have Pastor Matt come up as well.

Pastor Latu, who was instrumental in the putting together of this mission's trip,

could not be your day. You still, by the way, pray for Pastor Leut, you're still recovering

from his second knee replacement surgery. So he's here in spirit and in prayer, but we going to ask Mara at this time to share and then
