Merry Christmas from the McReynolds Tribe

Next week we head to the other side of Nosy Be to a villa on the beach. Our team will spend Christmas together, mixing up all of our individual Christmas traditions into one big lump of holiday fun. While we all miss our friends and family, we are excited to celebrate the birth of our Savior together and make some new traditions.

As we approach the end of this calendar year, it is hard to believe we have been here 8 months already. Depending on the day, it feels like 8 weeks or 8 years! Here are some photos with updates and prayer requests:

Rebe and I have become friends with some local guys who play in a band. They are amazing... this is a picture of them playing at the beach just down the road from us

The guys hang out on our porch... they know nothing of the God of the bible. Please pray for opportunities to share the truth of the gospel with them

Rebe and I want to say thank you, or “misotra,” to all of you who have partnered with us this past year. We are constantly amazed and humbled by the way we are loved and cared for back home. Your prayers and financial support sustain us physically and spiritually during both the highs and the lows of life and ministry here in Madagascar.

Merry Christmas     -Bryan
