2 Samuel 23:10
“He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.”
Dear Prayers and Supporters,
God’s Gift
Reflecting on this year and the abundance of God’s blessings, it’s clear that the greatest gift is indeed His Son, Jesus Christ. This realization often comes through spiritual practices—reading the Bible, listening to sermons, and engaging in heartfelt conversations with fellow believers. As you grow in your faith and recognize the depth of God’s love, your desire to share His blessings with others naturally increases.
Since last summer, our efforts to support a deaf family in need have been truly rewarding. By providing them with food and household essentials weekly, we’ve been able to ease some of their burdens. The joy in giving doesn’t stop there; we also extended our support to another deaf family, ensuring they have enough food. The local food bank has been a tremendous help, offering food near its expiration date from supermarkets and providing new winter coats, hats, gloves, and even toys for the children.
Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice—His life for ours—motivates us to love Him back by helping others. This act of love is a tangible way to demonstrate our gratitude and faith.
Moreover, I am deeply grateful for all the people who have influenced my journey. My family, teachers, church community, co-workers, and friends have all contributed to my growth. Each person, whether they brought challenges or support, played a role in shaping who I am today. God’s plan often includes using others to mold us into better versions of ourselves, and for that, I am thankful.
As we move forward, may we continue to appreciate and share the blessings we’ve received, showing love and kindness to those around us, just as Jesus taught us.
Recap of 2024 in Ministry
Throughout 2024, my focus has been on spreading the Gospel to as many people as possible, without dwelling on the numbers. Sharing God’s Word broadly is my mission, and the impact of this work often goes beyond what can be quantified. For those interested in more detailed information about my work, my mission office or local church can provide a comprehensive report.
To the best of my recollection:
10 souls were saved, each a testament to the power of God’s Word and the transformative journey of faith. We visited 200 residences, bringing hope, encouragement, and the message of salvation to countless individuals and families.
Collaborated with several national pastors, working closely with their deaf ministries to ensure that the message of Christ reaches all corners of our community.
Assisted a new deaf missionary, sharing insights, strategies, and resources to help him succeed in his calling.
Currently, my efforts are focused on preparing new believers for baptism and welcoming them into church membership as the date approaches. This preparation includes not only spiritual guidance but also helping them understand the significance of their commitment and supporting them through this important milestone in their faith journey.
Regarding my health, the cold season presents its challenges, but I remain stable and committed to serving the Lord in my ministries. This steadfast dedication is fueled by the love and support of my faith community and the strength that comes from knowing God’s purpose for my life.
As I look back on this year, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunities to serve, the lives touched, and the unwavering support from those around me. My journey in ministry is a collective effort, and I am deeply thankful for all who have walked alongside me, shared in this mission, and contributed to the growth and outreach of our ministry. Together, we continue to spread the light of Christ to all who are willing to receive it.
Thank you so much for all your support, whether financial, or through prayer and encouragement. Without you, this would not be possible. Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing.
Would you consider partnering with me to reach the Deaf for Christ?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Your partner in the Gospel,
James and Joy Campbell
