WINTER GREETINGS FROM THE AYERS!
The Ayers family at Emily’s wedding in November.
As we are ending another year and in the time of celebrat-
ing our Savior, we also give thanks for you!! We appreci-
ate so much your words of encouragement, facebook
messages, financial support, and most importantly, your
prayers!! This has been a year of a lot of firsts (being evac-
uated from Haiti), a lot of struggles, and a lot of learning
experiences. We could not have survived it all without
God's help through you and your prayers!!! We thank
God for His protection and provision this year and we
thank Him for the trials and struggles as we have drawn
closer to Him because of it all.
We anticipate returning to Haiti in 2020. The state of the
country has improved slightly, but it is still unstable and
too dangerous for teams to travel to sister churches, hos-
pitals, etc. We pray that we can return with Mike and
Dawn to do whatever is needed to help the Haitians in our
communities. Several teams were scheduled to visit both
compounds and have since cancelled trips. In the waiting,
please continue to pray for Haiti and its people. We look for-
ward to a time when teams can return and serve however God
leads.
Our family has been actively serving God through Operation
Christmas Child. We just finished a very busy, yet fruitful sea-
son of the shoebox collection. Rod and I also led a team of 90
to Chicago to work at the processing center over Thanksgiving
break. Our team consisted of people from 28 different church-

WINTER 2019
es, 6 denominations, and 4 states. Some were people
we met in Haiti!! It was a wonderful team and a pic-
ture of the church coming together to serve as one in
Christ! There was a bit of anxiousness and uncertain-
ty as we traveled to a new location to work this year.
We have traveled to MN for 9 years and were accus-
tomed to how things were there. But, change is
good, and we had a great weekend and started new
traditions in our new location. We had some interac-
tion and gospel conversations with some of the hired
staff. Sharing our group meals with the staff was a
great way to open the door for good conversations.
And big and exciting news for our family.... Emily got
married on November 23rd! We have a new addition
to our family, Tony Savage!! It was a wonderful cele-
bration with friends and family. We are excited to see
how God will lead these two in their new lives togeth-
er! Please pray for them as they begin this new jour-
ney.
Thank you for your continued support through prayer
and giving. We cannot serve as we do without God
and your support. We look forward to another year to
serve wherever God leads. Please continue to pray for
us as we return to Haiti. There are many unknowns as
we return, but God knows!! We seek Him and follow
Him.
