Thursday, December 1^st - Well, Christmas decorations have already been up for a while over here, but for us November has its own holiday, Thanksgiving. It's great to set aside an entire holiday to thank the Lord for all His blessings and provision, and we have a great deal of new blessings to be thankful for. Our meal ended up being interrupted, though, as God wasn't done blessing us for the day yet, and Elijah Andres Emmons was born at 9:26 PM. At 9 pounds, 4 ounces and 21.5 inches long, he was a pretty big Thanksgiving baby. We are very thankful for everyone who has been praying for us, especially for the safe delivery of our son, who was born without complications at the Mercy Maternity Center - much more comfortable and several orders of magnitude less expensive than the hospital. Mercy is another ministry operating in Davao that is accomplishing great things for the Lord, and our HFTN base is actually the building they ran their clinic in before they moved into their nice big place down the road a bit. So now Roldan has a little brother, and I think he's looking forward to him being big enough to play with, but for now Cathy and I have a lot on our hands with an infant and a ridiculously energetic toddler to manage. Our house is inundated with cute. Also, used diapers. And of course we couldn't be happier. This is the start of a beautiful December. Of course, it isn't Christmas break yet, and there's plenty of ministry to attend to, but it's hard not to feel like we've already unwrapped a present :).

Note: As of June we have a new support letter that outlines our ministry, and need to get it into people's hands, so if you can think of someone you'd be willing to give it to, it would be quite a help to us. The letter can be downloaded here.

Special Need: We've set a goal of $1100 / month for now as we've reduced our expenditures and this would be enough to sustain our continued work in Davao. We're almost there! Raised so far: 81%

--That God would bring Revival to Mindanao, and be Himself a real and tangible solution to poverty and violence. --With the computer lab open to students that are part of Oasis' sponsorship program, the next step is finding sponsorship for more computers and getting it open to the community. Lets also pray that it gives many opportunities to build connections with local students and witness to them, as that's our hope for it. --The feeding program at Rosemary now has a nearby church connected to it and their pastor really focuses on the Gospel, this is an answer to prayer. --It is quite a big answer to prayer for us that we have now purchased a used Kia sedan, thanks to our good friends from our church in NY, which will help us greatly both as a family and for ministry --Elijah Emmons was born November 24th. Many thanks to everyone who prayed for a safe delivery
	Here's our newborn baby Elijah!
