Dear friend of HFA,
We want to wish you a wonderful Christmas season as you celebrate Jesus’ birth, and enter into a new year!
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
Imagine if you were caught in a house fire, trapped because the ceiling has fallen in and blocked your only exit. Next you hear a fireman on the other side of the wall, who is using an instrument to create a hole in the wall for you to crawl through. As soon as it is big enough, the fireman calls out “We have to hurry! Follow me!” You wouldn’t think twice, right? You wouldn’t question if that was really the only way out of the room. You would trust the fireman and thank him for saving your life!
In John 14:6 we read that Jesus is the only way to eternal life, and that salvation can not be found through any other person or pathway. It cannot be found in philosophy, in science, in achievements, in wealth, in family, in humanism, in Buddha, in Mohammed, or in anyone or anything else. But what if you have never heard about this man called Jesus?
There are still many tribes and people groups who have never had the chance to hear about Jesus! Some of these people live in such isolation that, if no one comes to tell them, there is no way they will know who Jesus is. They are often surrounded by circumstances that resemble hell, with fear and death being prominent. These conditions are like being in that burning house, not knowing any way out.
When we celebrate Christ’s birth, we remember the peace and hope that He gives us. He is the way, the truth, and the life! Will you pray with us for those who do not know this peace and hope in Jesus Christ?
As we reflect on this year we thank God for His leading and provision. Hope from Above has now officially operated for a full year! In the last few months we have been able to complete our registrations in Australia, and we have started pursuing projects overseas. We consider our work of providing aviation and technology, as the instrument for the 'fireman' to use to save His people. It has been such a confirmation for the purpose of HFA, and we look forward to sharing these new projects with you soon!
Thank you for all the encouragement we have received this year.
God bless,
From the HFA Team
