Remember the lyrics to that old Christmas song, "The Little Drummer Boy"? It is such a vivid reminder of the Christmas story from a child's point of view.
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.
What will you do to honor Him
with what you have to bring?
Praying that you experience
the joy of knowing Him
this holiday season!

God really showed up! I am excited to be home but I'm really miss Trinidad!" said Rebecca, our 'unofficial' missionary reporter. We will be getting together with these students and leaders in the next few weeks to interview them and allow them to share their experiences on video. We'll premiere the footage on
