Bringing spring water to a dry and desert land. Is 40:11
Rev. Dennis & Jeanne Cook
    Christmas is celebrated differently in every country.  In the jungle it is celebrated as "Jesus' birthday." It is all about Him. No gifts are exchanged. Everyone gets together for a meal with their families. People travel from near and far to be with their families over this holiday.
    Christmas, although special, is NOT the biggest holiday celebrated here in the jungle. Easter is the largest holiday we celebrate here.
    The Indians say that on Christmas a child was born but on Easter a child became the Savior of the world.  He could have been just another child born to a Jewish family but Easter proves He was risen from the dead. This makes Him King of Kings and Lord of Lords. No one had ever died on behalf of another until then.

    This Christmas let's keep in mind we are celebrating the birth of the King of Kings and no the materialistic thing it has become.
