December Newsletter

Greetings from the Burnettes,
     These past 3 months have been full of meetings with friends and family.  We are thankful for the break in traveling in order to settle into a routine with our kids.  We are in awe of God's provisions during this time of finding people to partner with us on this journey.  We want to express our gratitude to the churches that have allowed us to visit with them over these past few months: Friendly Hills Church in Jamestown, NC, Christ Church Greensboro in Greensboro, NC, and Grace Presbyterian in Kernersville, NC.  We are looking forward to visiting other churches after the first of the year.  Our end of the year goal is to be 25% financially supported and we are only 4% away from this goal!
     In family news, we celebrated Silas' 2nd birthday at the end of November.  Our little boy loves farms and tractors so we had fun with a little farm party.  On December 9th, we celebrated his "Gotcha Day," the day we brought him home, adopted him, and became his forever family.  We are looking forward to the end of Daryl's job on December 31st.  This is a big step in our process as it will allow us to spend more time completing needed Bible classes, readings, and trainings.  We are thankful for the love and support Daryl's boss and coworkers have demonstrated while we pursue full time missions.  The end of his job also means the end of his salary and our full reliance on God as well as the financial supporters He has brought our way.
     We covet your prayers as the beginning of 2014 promises many changes and adjustments for our family.  We also ask that you praise God with us for His provisions and for bringing you along side us on this journey.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Daryl, Leah, Eden, Gabriel, and Silas BurnetteDLBurnette@worldventure.net www.worldventure.com/DLBurnette

But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people.  Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
Luke 2:10-12
