Friends Around the World

One of the greatest aspects of Christmas is hearing from good friends from everywhere on earth. This morning I opened my e mail to read a letter from our good friends in Singapore, Sam and Lai Fong. They, along with several other wonderful followers of Christ, have been very supportive and helpful in spreading our ministry in Asia and teaching the Life Skills classes to others.

In this letter they let us know that they are caroling this Christmas and singing a great song released on video by Kathy Tricolli. It is also on Youtube. Go check it out at:

I also heard from Kjell Aanensen who heads Teleios Norway, the very first organization we set up overseas. Kjell attended our first retreat in the mountains with 40 other Christian leaders in January 1987 and was deeply touched by the Lord. He has been a strong advocate for Life Skills ever since. He has taken our ministry to many places in and outside Norway.

Teleios Norway is now under the oversight of Martin Cave's IMI Church, the first congregation to embrace our approach to "Equipping the saints" and possibly the most dynamic congregation in Scandinavia.

I love hearing from friends and "family members" around the world. Keep sending those e mails.
