Dear Friends,
Next year, we are helping to lead a tour to follow in the footsteps of the apostle Paul to Greece and part of Turkey. We want to invite you to join us! This exciting tour allows you to explore this beautiful part of the world and learn more about the apostle Paul, the greatest missionary and evangelist the church has ever known.
This journey will be wonderfully educational, but we can’t come close to expressing how much the trip will also transform your life spiritually as you stand on the stones of the first-century churches of Philippi, Thessaloniki, Berea, Athens, Corinth, and Ephesus. You will explore the great sites of Classical and Hellenistic Greece. And you will gather in the Holy Grotto of the Revelation and catch a glimpse of John’s vision into heaven while on the sun-drenched Island of Patmos. The New Testament text and the events of the early church will come alive to you as you get to study and be present in their original settings.
Dr. Jeff Cramer and Kleanthis Iliadis will assist us in leading our tour. Jeff’s insights into how the first-century context shaped Paul’s Gospel message will encourage and enlighten you as he relates Paul's message to today’s world. His years of teaching will draw you into a world of experiential learning. Kleanthis, a native of Berea, has an insider’s view, taking you off the beaten path to provide a vibrant experience of Greek foods and culture.
You’ll experience more than you can imagine in this enchanting land of beauty and history. More importantly, you will gain a fresh perspective on the Bible and a renewed appreciation for the mission, message, and ministry of the Apostle Paul.
I hope you join us on this exciting spiritual adventure. It would be our joy and privilege if you decide to share this exciting experience with us. Sign up early and reserve your spot! We anticipate the trip will fill up quickly.
Take care, and may God richly bless you in every good way.
Warmly yours in Christ,
Chantal & Jacob Edler

We're asking for donations for a few different things:
1) $30 for each child's Christmas gift (typically a new pair of shoes or something that they have been needing)
2) $75 for a gift for the Mama's who take care of the orphans to feel blessed and treasured for all of the hard work they do to love on these kids!
3) An offering to fill their food storage house. They rely on us heavily for this!
4) Donations to help fund the ever growing pastor's conference this January held at Osanidde that is led by Pastor Andrew and Pastor Tom. It used to serve 150 pastors, but has now grown to almost a thousand people! That is a lot of mouths to feed for the weekend!
5) Donations to help fund the work team that is going down with Pastor Andrew and Pastor Tom this January! They are hoping to have enough funds to re-tile the orphan's houses!
As you can see, there are a lot of needs for Osanidde and you are so generous to help this orphanage thrive these many years! To donate, click to give button and select Osanidde as the recipient!
