Marco and Lauretta Hannel Prayer Letter: Thank You for Your Faithfulness in Giving This Past Year!To Our Financial Supporters

Thank you! We appreciate your faithfulness in giving to our financial needs this year. We could not have accomplished all that God has given us without your support. Thank you to those of you who specifically sent gifts and cards to us! We love receiving things by mail from you! We sincerely hope you had a blessed Christmas and a wonderful time reflecting on all that God has done this past year.

November Missions Conference

We were grateful to be at the meetings of our sending church’s Missions Conference, and we especially enjoyed having our missions director, Mark Bosje, as the main speaker. The week was filled with times of sweet fellowship and many helpful messages from God’s Word.

Painting in Wisconsin

I had the privilege to help Northwoods Baptist Church with maintenance on their bus and take it down to Chicago to paint it. I received helpful instruction and got to paint my first bus. I was also able to work on a bus route at the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana, and lead two kids to the Lord!

Kentucky

We’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the people of Vision Valley Baptist Church. We had the opportunity to help them get their bus in order before winter—it snowed as we were leaving! I found a tire issue and fixed the heating and electrical issues they were having. We were able to spend the entire day on Sunday with them, including being in children’s church and preaching twice. We were also able to witness during their Saturday soul-winning time.

Cedar Ridge Baptist Church

Helping lead the kids’ program on a Friday night at Cedar Ridge Baptist Church was exciting! We had pizza and competition, and we brought out Buddy the puppet before teaching from God’s Word about Jesus being our Light. We were thrilled to spend the evening with them, and we look forward to visiting them again soon!
