Lutheran Church of Mahomet, The Invitation 2019 Prayer Invitation (1) | Page 4

Dear Pastor and believers in Mahomet, We greet you with the love of our Lord Jesus Christ! We are so glad that we have been your friends for so many years already. I will always remember those days when I and my wife came to visit you. I still remember your faces as if it was yesterday. You have helped our church in Smilovichi so much, and you enriched us in many ways. Today, we have many cozy rooms in our church apart from the sanctuary and our believers can spend much time in the church after the services too. Now, we celebrate our birthdays and other anniversaries in the church because most of our church members have very small homes. I rejoice that all our efforts were not in vain. This year has brought us victories and troubles too. But we learn to look at everything in the light of the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ. He teaches us that we will meet opposi- tion when we follow Him. God willing we want to see many of you in our church. Tomorrow is Christmas. I wish you Merry Christmas! May all of you feel yourselves valuable on Christmas. The Lord came to this earth to save everyone of us. Everyone of us is so precious to Him that He paid such a big price. He became the Way, the Truth ad the Life for each of us and all the promises of the Bible belong to us now. May your hearts re- joice in it! We are so glad that we can be one big family in the Lord and we can praise His Name in different languages. With love, prayers and warm memories, Pastor Sasha, my family and all believers of the Grace church 4
