Dear friends and family in Christ,
During this beautiful Christmas season, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to God for each one of you. As we look back on this past year, our hearts are filled with joy as we reflect on how wonderful it has been to meet you, to walk together, and to share life, faith, and ministry.
Thank you for being part of our ministry, but even more than that, thank you for being friends, brothers and sisters, and family in Christ. Your love, support, prayers, and friendship have been a tremendous blessing to us, and we thank God for allowing us to share this journey with such special people.
In the midst of the celebrations, we want to remember the true reason for Christmas and for the way we live our lives. As the apostle Paul reminds us, “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). He is the reason we serve, love, and live—our sure hope today and forever.
We also joyfully remember the promise proclaimed long ago:
May this truth fill our hearts with peace, gratitude, and worship this Christmas season.
We pray that the Lord bless you abundantly, that His peace fill your homes, and that the love of Christ renew your strength and hope. May we continue to grow together in faith, love, and unity, giving all the glory to the One who came into the world to save us.
With much love and gratitude,
The Chaves Family
Lucas, Emma, Lucre & Juan
