We wish you a Joyful Christmas!
As we considered taking a photo of our family to send you, we decided that it wasn't a good idea. Sue is the only one wearing a shirt! As many of our partners are shivering with record cold temps, we are sweating in the typical tropical heat of Abidjan. We've had daily rain and RealFeel(R) temps over 105°F, with the humidity dripping at about 90%. Do you feel warmer yet?
You warm our hearts as we thank our Heavenly Father for you. Your prayers are the best gift we receive each day. May our Father's love warm your hearts, even in the frigid areas of His creation. May your Christmas be filled with His abounding joy!
With love and gratitude,
Mike, Sue, John, and Joshua Farho

I wish you and your family a Blessed Holiday and may God continue to Bless you!
Be Safe and Remember the "Reason for the Season"
I could use a little of your warmth. It's the coldest, snowiest, most beautiful winter that I remember in Seattle. And more snow is supposed to come in tonight. So enjoy for me your nice warmth. God is good. Very good. In Africa or in Seattle. Love in Him, Gene
Yes, the temperature was enough to make us jealous. We don't need to see sweaty guys without shirts!
Merry Christmas!
Dear Mike et al,
Thanks for the Chrustmas Greeting.
And may you all have a wonderful Christmas. plus 2009 the best yet.
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you also. We are currently in the 20’s which is much better than it was yesterday! (sub-zero with windchills) Are you cooler yet. Maybe we could combine the two and come up with just the perfect temperature. I guess we will have to wait until heaven, right? May God bless you this Christmas with His love and peace
Thanks for being so sensitive to our climate “needs.”
May you and your family also have a wonderfully, merry Christmas!
Well we are actually close to 20 degrees today. Have a joyous Christmas!
May the Lord grant your whole family a most blessed and joyous Christmas!
Love and prayers,
Dave and Peg
Greetings! And a very Merry Christmas to all of you!
Thank you for the lovely message we just read. Our weather has been in the single digits for several of these last few days - today temperature topped at 37 degrees Fahrenheit. Wind has been strong, too, for many of those days. ARE YOU COLD, yet?
John must be with you by now - we were pleased to read of that development.
We pray that our Father will continue to use all of you for His glory.
With love,
Vern and Inez
And a Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas to all of you as well!
Joy to the world the Lord is come!
And He is coming again!
I wish you all merry christmas!
I guess , the greastest gift that you can give someone is love and prayer .
May your Christmas be filled with the love of Christ and happy hoildays to you and your family.
God Bless and have an Awesome Festive Season.
Kind Regards,
Judy
You warm our hearts too as we thank GOD for your service to HIM!

Merry christmas to you too Mike and Sue, wishing you a very blessed 2009.
Good to hear from you and we wish you a blessed Christmas with your family and friends. Thankful that God has cared for John. Here it is warm and muggy with rain, then cold and windy, then the reverse again. Tomorrow and the 25th will be warm with showers. It's nice to have both I think - warm to be able to get out and do things and cold to remember that it is winter here in middle Georgia. I don't understand it but am thankful for it and that is that gas at the pump is now $1.55 a gallon. Once again I enjoy riding around.
I'm glad too for all your opportunities of language study. And, thank you for your ministry.
Dear Mike, Sue, and Joshua - We pray for you! May God bless you and keep you as you minister for and with Him!
We should be glad and celebrate! Luke 15:32
Hope this glorious season gives you many new reasons to rejoice!
Merry Christmas,
Bill and Evelyn
Merry Christmas to all of you. My thoughts go back to our Christmases in Africa!! Today, Christmas Eve, all of my children and grandchildren will be here to celebrate. Tomorrow, Christmas Day, is my holiday to work at Hospice all day. I don't mind as I feel it is a way I can give back for the wonderful blessings the Lord showers on us daily.
Many blessings to you and enjoy having your family together. It is wonderful that John could be there with you.
Love and prayers
Diane
Farho family,
Thanks for making us feel warmer! It's cold and snowing here in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I imagine you would not mind a little of that right now!
You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Merry Christmas!
God Bless!
Mark, Brenda, Ashley, and Amy
Merry Christmas, Mike! Yes, I remember Christmas in Abidjan. The bridge with Christmas lights, more than half burned out! The gas stations with snow scapes painted! Food stores packed with toys!
I pray for you and your family a healthy and fruitful year ahead! May God bless you and yours richly!
Thank you for keeping in touch.
We appreciate being a part of your ministry through prayer. It is great how God has been answering prayer.
We thank you for the Christmas Greetings and want to wish you and your sons a very Merry and Blessed Christmas and health and blessings through the coming year.
Love and prayers,
Ray and Lou
