Best Wishes for a Christ Centered Christmas

Dear Team,

This month marks the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brother’s first flight. The distance he flew was less than the wingspan of the 747 jumbo jet that brought us here to Africa in October. A lot has changed since then. We were told that Boeing’s big jumbo is made up of over 6 million individual parts – not one of which can fly by itself! That we made it safely across an ocean and three continents is pretty clear evidence of intelligent engineering and design. The Psalmist declared: I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:14 We didn’t evolve; we are His, made by Intelligent Design!

ITMI’s Director, Steve Evers, joined us last month for a 5-week mission through southern Africa. After three weeks in Cape Town, we go this month to the summer Youth Conference at KwaSizabantu in Natal. Then its on to visit Zambia and the Excellence Christian Academy in Kabwe. Please pray that everything Steve had on his heart to do will be accomplished while he is here.

Reverend Piotr Zaremba is on schedule to complete his translation of the New Testament from Greek into Polish by the end of this year. It’s a first for Poland. The Lord has brought a young Polish man, Mateusz, to work alongside the Nungessers. They are grateful for his help and want to raise some support for him. Dr. Adrian and Ema Ban are serving diligently in Romania and grateful for your prayers.

If you are prayerfully considering an end-of-the-year gift to ITMI, in addition to our general fund we have some wonderful projects and opportunities listed below.

From summertime in the Southern Hemisphere we send you our greetings and best wishes for a Christ centered Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

Yours in His grip,





Bill Bathman
