Karl and Kristen Nielsen Just another weblog 
Dear Friends,
Merry Christmas from Papua New Guinea! As we write this letter, it is 85 degrees, all the trees are lush green and we have poinsettia bushes thriving outside of our home, not in pots wrapped in tin foil. We are not in Connecticut anymore!
As we reflect back on the past year and the journey the Lord has had us on to PNG, our hearts are joy filled because we are able to testify that He has been our strength and our shield. We have never been more acutely aware that only by His power, grace, and mercy do we have life and breath, and that He sustains us through each day. As we celebrate our Savior’s birth in this very different place, developing new relationships, and at the very beginning of a new ministry, we are especially grateful this year that our God does not change. We are also very thankful for you. Your prayers, emails, packages, financial support and all of the many other ways you have partnered with us have taught us so many lessons about how the body of Christ works. Thank you for being such faithful servants in Christ Jesus.
