Merry Christmas from the Whitmans!

Merry Christmas!  Buon Natale!

Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!
(2 Corinthians 9:15 ESV)

We are so grateful for all that God has done for us in this year.  More than anything we are grateful for Jesus Christ, who became flesh for us.  He took our place, paid the penalty of our sins and showed us what giving truly is.

Wishing you all God’s blessings for Christmas,
Jonathan, Melodee and Noah Whitman
Perugia, Italy

Mission Accomplished!

THANK YOU

Noah preparing for yet another tripThanks to all of you who played a special part in this wonderful furlough.  By the time you read this, we will probably be heading back to work.

Yes…furlough is tough work, but nothing like what awaits us as we re-enter our mission field.

Pray for us as we re-adapt to the Italian ways, to meeting the needs of people, to bringing hope to those who are without hope.

Here are a few good prayer requests as we return:

1. Safe travels.  We will be traveling with a quasi-two-year-old on our lap.  Pray that they would be able to offer us a free seat.

2. Health.  As soon as I get back I have my checkup.  I have to get a request from my doctor for bloodwork that I need for  CAT scan that I need for my checkup.  In socialized medicine this seems almost impossible.

3. Citizenship.  I hope to complete documentation to apply for Italian citizenship.

4. Ministry Re-Integration.  Pray that we can understand how the ministry has developed in the last six months and how we must adapt.

Grazie!
