Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom God favors!” – Luke 2:14

Caleb and I extend our warmest Christmas greetings to you and your loved ones as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior. May the joy of Christ’s birth fill your heart this day and always! And as we enter a new year, may God grant you a new year marked by faith, hope, and love.

Our Christmas Miracle

A recent reflection on the “transfigured and reordered” vision from Isaiah 6 that boldly declares the future we have in the fullness of the reign of God and our hope in peace and justice in Christ. Read the entire reflection.

Thank you Üllas!

On this Christmas Day, I offer my profound thanks to my colleague and friend Rev. Dr. Üllas Tankler who will retire at the end of December. Üllas is the Europe and Eurasia area liaison for United Methodist Global Ministries. I have had the privilege of working with Üllas for nearly 15 years during my mission service in Europe. I am grateful for his companionship in mission, attentive listening, quiet wisdom, unflappable leadership, and enduring friendship. Thank you Üllas!
