Dear Friends and Loved Ones:
A Blessed Christmas 2018 to you from Kampala, Uganda!
May our Lord Jesus Christ, the Man born of Mary and the Savior
of the world, the Rescuer of His people and eternal Son of God, bless you and
yours in His mighty power, peace, grace, government and blessed love in His
great salvation as you worship Him during these days of celebration and
thanksgiving. Glory and praise to God! Thanks much for your part in the
ministry of Mission Africa this year! We ask the Lord for His nearness for you
at Christmas.
Your friends in our Lord's Gospel and His love,
Jim and Kappy Robinette

“He shall judge between the nations;
And rebuke many people;
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.” Isaiah 2:4
We appreciate your prayer that God will work through this ministry
to save and help the needy.

"And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and
their spears into pruning-hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more" (Isaiah 2:4).
“Oh, that these happy times were come! At present the
nations are heavily armed and are inventing weapons more and more terrible, as
if the chief end of man could only be answered by destroying myriads of his
fellows. Yet peace will prevail one day; yes, and so prevail that the
instruments of destruction shall be beaten into other shapes and used for
better purposes. How will this come about? By trade? By civilization? By
arbitration? We do not believe it. Past experience forbids our trusting to
means so feeble. Peace will be established only by the reign of the Prince of
Peace. He must teach the people by His Spirit, renew their hearts by His grace,
and reign over them by His supreme power, and then will they cease to wound and
kill. Man is a monster when once his blood is up, and only the LORD Jesus can
turn this lion into a lamb. By changing man's heart, his bloodthirsty passions
are removed. Let every reader of this book of promises offer special prayer
today to the LORD and Giver of Peace that He would speedily put an end to war
and establish concord over the whole world.”
-C.H. Spurgeon British
Prince of Preachers 1834-1892
