Iraq Misson Update

As Christmas grows closer, I have received word about some of the gifts that you have shared with Iraqi families as part of the humanitarian mission of Aaron's MiTT (Military Transition Team) at KMTB in Iraq. I would like to say thanks to all of you for your support of this wonderful effort, and would like to share this message from Capt. Galus, a member of the MiTT about it all:
"We have been accumula- ting supplies from back home for many months now and all the donations were put to good use earlier this month! Thank you very much to you and all the members of your church that sent out so many wonderful donations. The school supplies were invaluable and the children at the school loved them. We were able to make small kits of school supplies, toys, and candy for 400 children at the school. The Iraqi Army helped us to assemble and sort through the supplies and then delivered them to the children. For one day at least, they were heroes in the eyes of their countrymen . . . We would of course appreciate further donations. We don't know if we will do another Humanitarian Mission before we leave, but for sure if you do pass along donations, we will be sure to pass it along to the next team so that they can continue this kind of good work that pays off for us over here in Iraq. School supplies are great and anything for children such as toys and candy. Thank you again for all your contributions. We really appreciate it and it is motivating knowing that there are so many fine Americans back home that really do care about what happens abroad with the troops and needy people of the world."

Joy to the World! The Lord is come! May you all have a blessed Christmas, and journey into 2008 as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ!
