COMPLETED TO US. THANK YOU
A
happy new year to you all!
I hope that celebrating with family and
friends during the Christmas season, and
the New Year, has brought a sense of joy
and secured some warm memories for
you. Princess and I had family
stay with us for a few days. We
set up tents in our backyard in Tauranga
and coined it as, “Occupy Tauranga.”
We were hoping for the best, but were rained out;
however, it did not dampen our holiday
as we celebrated despite the external
influences which were beyond our
control. We decided to enjoy each
others company and the ‘reason for the
season’ no matter what!
2011 was full of challenges and
difficulties for us and likely for some
of you as well. Do we give up
because of those challenges and
difficulties…being caught between a rock
and a hard place? OR, do we, with
the right attitude, influence our
outcome by making our woes a stepping
stone to a prosperous future?
I have been inspired by the people of
Christchurch, who despite repeated
earthquakes and setbacks to the
rebuilding process, have pushed
onward. We, too, must decide and
resolve to face our own fears and move
forward.
In 2011 we were able to bring direct
medical intervention to 34,000 people in
four Pacific Island nations. In
2012 we have a renewed passion and
vision for more. Despite the
challenges we face, we are motivated to
face these challenges, fears and
concerns head-on.
I find it amusing to consider why we
celebrate the New Year if we can only
imagine the impending doom it
presents. I believe there is an
intrinsic value we possess as human
beings, divinely implanted, that dares
to overcome. A Godly principle we
call…HOPE.
I dare and challenge you to hope in 2012
for the best; to have faith in God, in
yourself and in others; and finally to
love with action, which is the greatest
gift we can give each other.
We attach our vision statement for 2012
and ask you to partner and pray for
us. Thank you for your generosity
Reynold & Anna for being a
significant part of what we do.
Know with certainty that the legacy of
Marine Reach – YWAM is yours too.
Matthew 25:34 –“Then the King will say
to those on his right, ‘Come, you who
are blessed by my Father; take your
inheritance, the kingdom prepared for
you since the creation of the
world. For I was hungry and you
gave me something to eat, I was thirsty
and you gave me something to drink, I
was a stranger and you invited me in, I
needed clothes and you clothed me, I was
sick and you looked after me, I was in
prison and you came to visit me.’ ’’
