The New Year has been meaningful to all of us here at the base. As we gather to share our stories and reflect with one another, the same theme emerges, being thankful for what God has done in our lives in 2015. 

Pressing forward into 2016 without forgetting to take with us all that God has done for us in the previous year. We are reminded of His faithfulness in our lives. In the time of the first Passover, God demonstrated His faithfulness by sparing the lives of the Israelites in Egypt. The Israelites were instructed by God to remind every generation after them of what He had done. Similarly we believe by always remembering all that God has done faithfully for us, we can step into 2016 with an established faith that in everything we are able to trust God.

In 2016 we pray that you will remember His goodness in 2015, share that with your loved ones and be thankful in everything!

Here we are again at the time of the year when we celebrate giving with joy. I would like to wish all our friends, family and supporters "A VERY BLESSED CHRISTMAS!". We have plenty to be thankful for this season, I like to thank my wife Kate, our base staff Matt and Jess for being such a blessing.  

My hope this season as we draw to a close this year is for all of us the REMEMBER JESUS, without Him there is no Christmas, He is the reason for the season. Remember Him in everything that you do.

I am grateful for the people who have volunteered their time on the base during this time, a special thank you to Carly Koeppen and Jina Brunke. You two are amazing! 

A special Thank You to all the people involved in our Kids Camp, Children Ministry, Coffee N God, Prison Ministry and The Ark. To all the people who have come and gone the entire year, we loved having each one of you.  We also like to thank the various organisations, churches, board of trustees and our supporters all around the world. Thank you all for your time, prayers and financial support. 

We will be taking time off to celebrate the season and we will be back next year. We pray that this season will bring you joy. Love one another and be merry from all of us here at YWAM Cook Islands.
