I know I am biased but a really good cause to support with year end giving is the International Mission Board.
100% of your gift to The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering goes to overseas missions (IMB) and directly affects our yearly budget.
This is a link to a brief article about Lottie Moon.
This is a direct link to the page where you can contribute online to this very worthy cause.
This is indeed a rare occurrence.

Fran’s mother went home to be with her Lord last Friday.
We’ve been so busy over the last couple of months and then catching up over the last couple of days that I failed to notice a milestone. Our blog celebrated it’s EIGHTH birthday on Monday.
A couple of years after our arrival in Taiwan we decided that it would be better to use a blog than monthly newsletters to keep friends and family updated on our life and ministry. We have done a so-so job of regularly posting what’s going on on this side of the water.
As always, I intend to do better in the future
Stay tuned.
