Christmas 2007 Christmas Greetings

Our three-year global ministry, mainly in Vietnam, continues. We were in Vietnam in February and again in October meeting with church leaders and various government officials, including one Communist party official. We are working with a church to set up medical clinics in the rural Mekong delta. In addition, we are involved with school children learning English. This year we have also ministered in Mexico, India, Illinois, Texas, and Tennessee as well as traveling to England, Greece, and North Carolina. Next year is already booked with ministries in Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and Vietnam. We are grateful to see God’s hand at work around the world.

Our children are all doing well. We have been blessed again with two more grandchildren, Orrin Mark born June 1st in Lynchburg, and Theodore Reuben (Teddy) born November 3rd in London. We love them all and love to play with them. Our youngest son is now a board-certified surgeon and will be deployed to Iraq in January with the Air Force. We’d appreciate your prayers for his safety and work.

My book, Meditations of a Happy Homemaker, would be an excellent Christmas gift for women if all ages and occupations who need encouragement.. It can be purchased on Amazon.com, CBD.com or contact me at mballey@juno.com or at our home address. Also check our web site at www.alleyway.org for more up-to-date activities.

Your friendship is a treasure to us and we are grateful for you. May God’s love fill you with joy this Christmas and may you have a peaceful holiday season.
