Everything Is the Same, Only Different
February 1, 2012

  

One of the joys of teaching English is to see our friends express a sense of humor in English. Our dear friend and ministry partner Josué found the title expression funny. So funny, in fact, that he used it every chance he got.  It came to be a game with him and our team.  Someone would say, "Josue, what's new?"  He would answer with a big smile, "Everything is the same, only different."  Then all would laugh. 

Oddly enough, this strange and oxymoronic expression was true of 2011. While most of our ministry experience was much like past years, there were many new and different episodes in 2011.

We praise the Lord and give Christ all the glory for all He has allowed us to accomplish in 2011. In that year alone, almost 1,000 adults said "yes" to Christ during our Practically Speaking English events in Nicaragua and Russia.

We look back on 2011 in our 2011 Review that can be found by clicking here.  Please take a moment and read it.  As you read, take the opportunity to praise to our Lord and Savior for all He did last year.
