Silcott Evangelistic Team:
December Update


Dear Praying Friends,

The precious Son of God left heaven to become the Word of God dwelling among us.  In light of His sacrifice, my sacrifice is small as I leave Jane and Caleb during Christmas time to fly to the Philippines with the message of the Word of God.  Please pray for me as I minister to Filipino seminary students and pastors that I will encourage them in the truths of Biblical doctrine.

The glorious Son of God left heaven to bring Peace as the Prince of Peace.  Please pray as I minister in this troubled area that the Muslim Filipinos will hear and receive the message of love from the God who loves them not for what they are doing, but the God who will save them from the eternal wrath of God.    

O Holy Night
Original Translation

Midnight, Christians is the solemn hour
When God as Man descended unto us
To erase the original stain
And end the wrath of His Father.
The entire world trembles with expectation
In this night that gives to us a Savior
Fall on your knees, await your deliverance.
Noel, Noel, here is the Redeemer,
Noel, Noel, here is the Redeemer!

The ardent light of our Faith,
Guides us all to the cradle of the infant,
As in ancient times a brilliant star
Conducted the Magi there from the Orient.
The King of kings was born in a humble manger;
O mighty ones of today, proud of your grandeur,
It is to your pride that God preaches.
Bow your heads before the Redeemer!
Bow your heads before the Redeemer!

The redeemer has broken every shackle
The earth is free, and heaven is open.
He sees a brother where there was once only a slave
Those who had been chained together by iron, love now unites.
Who will tell Him of our gratitude
It is for every one of us that he was born, suffered and died.
Stand on your feet, sing of your deliverance.
Noel, Noel, sing of your Redeemer,
Noel, Noel, sing of your Redeemer!

Thank you for serving the Savior alongside us through prayer,

Merry Christmas,

The Silcotts,
Serving local churches through the gift of evangelism
