The Joys of Christmas The Joys of being a Christian The Joys of Serving at Camp
So many thoughts flood our minds at this time of the year:
🎄 How did December come so fast? It seems we just finished summer camp.🌼
👍 Are we taking the right direction when we get up each day to begin our tasks at
hand?
💟 What is God’s purpose for us here? Our lives are but a vapor and is loving on our
neighbor meaningful enough to make more disciples?👪
Christ mas absolutely brings all these questions into focus during this advent season. God did not call us to Victory by accident and we often wonder are our works producing fruit for HIm? But, of course they are… besides, it is not our job to change the hearts of man, only God himself can do that. However, God asks us to join in and help! So we serve faithfully knowing His plan is perfect! We will get up each day and continue to be still and know that God will give us the instructions we need to carry on in His name. Amen. 🙏
Victory had another busy fall hosting a variety of youth through adult programs. One of our favorites is Arctic Barnabas. Check them out at http://arcticbarnabas.org/ As you know, we live in the arctic zone and Barnabas’ message was one of encouragement. Victory Bible Camp hosts the many missionary families living remotely, in the bush of Alaska, to a week of being refreshed and restored. Arctic Barnabas provides dentists (from western Michigan) for free dental work - even crowns and root canals, free haircuts by a professional hair stylist, and a pediatrician is available for wellness check ups. We serve them a 5 star dinner, with childcare provided! The best part is there is a lot of time for worshipping, playing, praying, and sharing together. Many of these families probably have “dry” cabins. This means no running water and some with no electricity, either. These are hardy people and they know God is truly their Living Water. 
Please be in prayer for the indigenous Alaskan people (who are served by these missionaries) who desperately need to know of God’s love and salvation.

Our Christmas card this year is a reflection of the Barnabas’ in our lives. We are so thankful for each of you. You restore and refresh us in our daily walk to share God’s love to all with your prayers and financial support.
Merry Christmas to all - Chris, Debbie and Liam
