Behold
The Savior!
“…that which is conceived in Mary is of the Holy Spirit.”
It was JESUS – “Savior.” He was EMMANUEL – “God with us.”
Ihad almost given up hope that Christmas could be a great opportunity to share the gospel and introduce
people to the Savior! Can you imagine? As I assessed the holiday season, I saw what you probably see:
busyness and distractedness. The extreme marketing and materialism of the Christmas shopping season
seemed to me to be an insurmountable distraction. There was the over-attention from the entertainment industry
– thousands of Christmas songs that began the day after (then the day before) Thanksgiving. Everyone was
clamoring to sing songs, old and new, and in novel ways. Jingle Bells sung by barking dogs, and Jingle Bells
sung backwards. Charlie Brown’s Christmas and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer quickly lost their uniqueness
as Home Alone and The Santa Clause rolled out versions 1-3. Then there was the busy side of the holiday:
school programs, church programs, parties beyond number, and fi nally, when the holy day was upon us, most
people were too burnt out to focus on Jesus. Christmas Eve service, a longstanding annual highlight and family
worship tradition, seemed to feel like an infringement on “family time.”
Then it happened. On Christmas Eve, I gave an invitation after preaching a simple gospel message. I have to
admit, I really didn’t expect anyone to respond. There were cookies and cheeseballs waiting at home. When I
asked if anyone would like to ask Jesus for His gift of eternal life this Christmas, an adult woman raised her hand.
I was shocked! I gave the invitation again, just to be sure she understood what I was doing. Then her husband
raised his hand. Kathy and Vince were beginning their spiritual journey in relationship with Jesus. Their family
followed. Many of Kathy’s friends and co-workers would also fi nd their way to Jesus over the years as she shared
her salvation story again and again. Kathy’s transformational experience on Christmas Eve
that year created a transformational experience in me: one of faith and hope. I came to
see Christmas, despite the busyness and distractions and over-marketing, as a season of natural opportunities.
Our church began to seize the moment(s) to give a simple and clear opportunity for believers to invite their
unsaved loved ones to church. It was a season when unsaved loved ones were invited to begin a relationship
with God the Father through Jesus His Son. Joseph pondered the dilemmas that the birth of Christ would bring.
Matthew expresses the moment of insight that Joseph experienced with the angelic encounter: “BEHOLD.”
BOOM…DROP THE MIC! “…that which is conceived in Mary is of the Holy Spirit.” It
was JESUS – “Savior.” He was EMMANUEL – “God with us.” All of the complications that
Joseph was navigating were contextualized. Evaporated. Nullifi ed. The Savior and salvation were on the way.
“Don’t be afraid, Joseph” – God’s got this, and it’s going to be awesome!
NETWORK SUPERINTENDENT | Donald J. Immel | 717.795.5921 | don@penndel.org
As we look at the hurdles of the holidays, let’s also look with optimism at the opportunities. The whole western
world gives us multiple platforms to proclaim “YES! There is Something [SOMEONE] worth celebrating here.”
BEHOLD – here’s an annual opportunity to invite people like Kathy to know God personally. Don’t surrender your
“market share” of Christmas to secularism, materialism or the distractions that have highjacked the narrative.
Seize the season! Inform, invite and inspire your church and
your community to speak the name of Jesus -
for He will save [His] people from their sins. Matthew 1:21

RESTORING THE WONDER OF
Christmas
Recently I read: “Disney World fans say the Orlando Florida theme
park has ‘lost its magic’ due to the cost.”
Honestly, there have been a few times I felt that way at Christmastime. “Christmas has lost its
WONDER– due to the cost.” There is a cost to planning a great Christmas season in church life.
Christmas Musical rehearsals begin in mid-September. We are discussing the sermon series for Christmas
Eve in October. By November, the children are planning their Jingle Jam for the second Sunday of
December. All of this leading to Christmas Eve with its many features, from spicing up the Christmas
classics to videos and short dramas. A hot cocoa bar, photo booths and perfect music await our guests
as they walk through the doors. Don’t forget mixing in outreaches, like free gift wrapping at local malls and
hosting community Christmas events.
If we are not careful, we can lose the WONDER of Christmas - due to the cost.
Remember the WONDER that fi lled Elizabeth’s house when Mary entered and greeted her? She said,
“For behold when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb
leaped for joy.” (Luke 1:44, Amplified Bible) That’s the normal reaction to the WONDER of God. You
can feel the WONDER when Elizabeth says, “You are blessed, and the baby inside you is blessed.” “I’m
blessed because the mother of my Lord has come to visit me.” “Mary, this amazing thing is happening
because you believed every word God said would come true.” The WONDER in Elizabeth’s house is so
tangible you can feel it. I want that this Christmas!
AS PASTORS AND CHURCH LEADERS, HOW DO WE
RESTORE AWE AND WONDER INTO CHRISTMAS?
Gospel WONDER: “…the gospel of Christ…is the power of God unto salvation to
everyone that believeth.” (Romans 1:16, KJV) The story of Christmas is still fi lled with the
power of God. We are not responsible for what others believe. We are simply messengers who
tell the extraordinary story of Christmas again and again. Tell the story again!
Personal WONDER: I love the line in the song: Build My Life. “Open up my eyes in
Wonder…show me who you are.” Every time I sing this line, it becomes my prayer. A few
weeks ago, while I was driving, a song played that I had never heard before. When the words
“I’m so grateful that you have chosen to save me” were sung, I lost it! I was instantly overcome
with emotions and tears and I felt the WONDER of God again.
Transformational WONDER: Chris attended a Christmas Eve Service at Morning Star some
years ago. Knowing he had recently divorced, a friend invited him to church. That night, Chris
surrendered his life to Jesus and I watched God do an amazing work in his life over the next
fi fteen years. The Wonder of watching Jesus’ work to transform a human heart never gets old!

This Christmas, make room for God to do for you what He did for
two women that experienced the WONDER of Christmas.

Over the years, we have opened our home to men and
women who needed housing and/or mentorship. Some
stayed with us for short periods, and others stayed
much longer. Either way, while they lived with us, our family life
changed as we made room for them to feel comfortable and
welcome. My perfectly decorated GUEST room became their
room. Before long, it did not look like a guest room, but a welllived-in
space, complete with their belongings. As more time
passed and our guests felt comfortable, their presence became
a part of our daily routine as we learned their food preferences,
etc. They became family as our lives intertwined, and their
presence changed our lives for the season they were with us.
Our home became their home.
When Jesus came to the earth, clothed in fl esh and blood, His
presence changed lives eternally.
I love how The Message Bible says it,
“The Word became flesh and blood and moved
into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with
our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like
Father, like Son, Generous inside and out, true
from start to finish.”
While Jesus was active with the Father at creation, He was
unseen until the moment He entered our earthly reality, fl esh
and blood, born of a virgin. Then, the simplicity of a space
made for animals became a birthing room for the King of Kings,
and humans like you and I saw (beheld) His glory. You can read
these words in the NKJ version of John 1:14.
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among
us, and we BEHELD His glory, the glory as of
the only begotten of the Father, full of grace
and truth.”
Welcome, Jesus,
this Christmas!
The Complete Jewish Bible refers to GLORY as Sh’khinah,
which means the manifest presence of God. Before this time,
God’s presence would manifest as a cloud or a pillar of fi re, but
NOW Jesus was with us – fl esh and blood – spending thirtythree
years on the earth and ultimately giving his fl esh and
blood, becoming the perfect sacrifi ce to atone for our sins.
“The Word became a human being and
lived with us, and we saw his Sh’khinah, the
Sh’khinah of the Father’s only Son, full of
grace and truth.”
Complete Jewish Bible
When we welcome Jesus into our lives, He comes in with grace
and truth. Grace is unmerited favor, which we don’t deserve,
and His truth will set us free from sin. At our best, we invite
Jesus to make Himself at home in every area of our life, and
His touch is unmistakable. His presence becomes as normal as
the sun rising each morning. As time goes on, we begin to give
Him access to each space in our hearts, and the more we do
this, the more His Glory shines in us.
While I’ll never experience what it was like for those who
physically walked with Jesus during His time here on earth, I
can tell you that His Sh’khinah (Shekhinah) changes everything.
I love the song “When You Walk into the Room” by Bryan and
Katie Torwalt.
When You walk into the room
Everything changes
Darkness starts to tremble
At the light that You bring
And when You walk into the room
Every heart starts burning
And nothing matters more
Than just to sit here at Your feet
And worship You
PENNDEL WOMEN | Liz DeFrain | 484.686.4554 | liz@penndelwomen.com | penndelwomen.com
This Christmas, the best present you can give to Jesus is allowing
His presence access to every part of your heart. I promise,
everything changes with that kind of access.

Behold
“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed
on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore
the world does not know us, because it did not
know Him.”
1 John 3:1 (NKJ)
The word ‘Behold’ draws us in. It is a word to bring our attention
towards something – to pay attention – to attend to. In this passage, the
apostle John wanted to draw our attention to the magnitude of God’s
love. He loves us so much that he calls us His children. Then comes a
caution statement. The world will not recognize you because they did
not recognize Him. From the time Jesus was born until His resurrection,
He was not recognized as the true Son of God.
We are reminded of this at Christmas time. First, there was the visitation
of the angel to Mary, the supernatural conception, Joseph’s angelic
dream, followed by the virgin birth. Then, there was the announcement
to the shepherds of the birth of the newborn king in the field with the
visit of the magi a few years later. These were all ‘Behold’ moments. As
Jesus grew and started his ministry, a dove descended from heaven and
God announced this was His Son He loved and was well pleased with
Him. Daily there were miracles witnessed by hundreds and, at times,
thousands of people. These were ‘Behold’ moments. God orchestrated
these events to get people’s attention so they could truly see and
believe who He was.
I believe He still gives us ‘Behold’ moments today. Perhaps it is the birth
of a new child, a fall sunset, the vastness of the oceans or the beauty of
the mountains. There are moments when one comes to know Jesus as
their personal Savior or is healed of a deadly disease. They experience
an excitement of life in their new found faith.
This time of the year is one of the greatest ‘behold’ moments of all. We
can walk through department stores and hear “Joy to the World the
Lord has Come.” Or, turn on the radio and hear “Silent Night” being
played. Nativity displays adorn lawns and even some public squares.
Then, there is the day that most of the world shuts down, Christmas
Day. Why the pause in time? “Behold what manner of love the Father
has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God.” For God
so loved us that he sent His only Son, giving us a way to eternal life.
God gave us Christmas as a ‘Behold’ day, a day we can stop and see
who He is and experience His love for us.

Some still do not recognize this ‘Behold’ moment.
We must continue to serve as children of God
sharing His love and bringing others to their own
‘Behold’ moment in time.
JAMES (JIM) A. SABELLA, 64, passed away on
October 20. He is survived by his wife, Sherry and their
two sons Philip and Jonathon. Together they served the
Lord as lead pastors in the following PennDel churches:
Bethel Chapel AG, York, PA, and Mifflinburg AG,
Mifflinburg, PA. They were commissioned as missionaries
in 1994. Their most recent appointment was as AGWM
Area Directors for Southeast Europe.

Our Europe friend and
colleague Jim Sabella
went home to be with
his Lord October
20, 2022. Jim fought a
courageous battle with
cancer for over two years,
strong and full of faith. He
has deeply impacted our
lives and the fi ngerprint of
his life was embedded in every part of our Europe family.
In 1994, Jim and Sherry were commissioned as missionaries with
the Assemblies of God World Missions (AGWM) to the Czech
Republic. There, they engaged in church planting and Bible
School teaching, established pastoral training courses, and led
the nation's Global University program. Of the Czech Republic
Jim said, "My heart will always be there."
In 2004, Jim and Sherry were appointed Area Directors for
AGWM's Central Europe area. In 2012, they were appointed
Area Directors for the Central and Southeast Europe area, and in
2017, as Area Directors for the Southeast Europe area. Jim was
AGWM's longest-serving Area Director.
Jim's greatest joy in ministry was to visit Roma villages across
Europe, spreading the message of life and hope in Jesus. Jim
and Sherry led numerous missions trips and church planting
initiatives among this beloved people group.
In 2012, Jim founded Europe's Heart, a ministry to people on the
margins of society - particularly the Roma of Eastern Slovakia. As
Director, Jim's ability to call out the inherent value in others shone
distinctly.
Each time Jim said goodbye to someone, he urged them to
"Keep the faith," based on 2 Timothy 4:7: "I have fought the
good fi ght, I have fi nished the race, I have kept the faith."
His dear wife Sherry wrote beautifully, “he lived his life to serve
and follow Jesus. And even in our broken hearts, we rejoice
knowing that Jim is with the One he gave his all to serve.”
We want to take this opportunity to thank all who participated in our
World Missions Tanzania Project. We partnered with our own Evangelist,
Christopher Alam. Christopher has preached the Gospel in over seventyfive
nations and over 15000 churches have been started as a fruit of his
ministry. The preaching of the Gospel is accompanied by signs, wonders and
miracles. Christopher held numerous crusades this past summer in Tanzania
in partnership with General Superintendent Barnabas Mtokambali. His goal is
to plant 10,000 new churches in Tanzania.
WORLD MISSIONS | Jeff Marshall | 717.795.5921 | jeff@penndel.org
As a result of these crusades, churches were planted in areas of Tanzania where no churches existed. Lives were changed,
churches were planted and your contributions made all of this possible. Many have joined the kingdom of God and are being
discipled because of your generous giving.
Honoring our PennDel Missionaries
who have recently retired from AGWM
DOUG AND CAROL BALDWIN retired as fully appointed
missionaries to Ecuador. Since 1988, God has used the Baldwins
to establish training classes for believers, lay workers and young
leaders who would later become pastors or church planters.
Many lives have been touched with the Gospel of Jesus Christ
because of their leadership and sacrifi ce. They are thankful for your prayers and support
during their years of ministry with AGWM while serving the the Latin America Caribbean
Region. Doug and Carol are enjoying their retirement in Titusville, Florida.
SAM AND JANICE MAYESKI retired as fully appointed
missionaries to Latin America Caribbean, effective July 31,

Incarnat
BEHOLD, THE WORD B
“Silent night, holy night, all is calm...” Maybe not...
BEHOLD, THE WORD BECAME FLESH.
The New Testament proclaims the beauty and wonder of
the Incarnation, the Word made fl esh. Matthew’s Gospel
states that Jesus’ name would be called ‘Immanuel’ which
translated means “God with us.” Luke likewise tells the
wonder of the Holy Spirit overshadowing Mary so that her
child would “be called holy-the Son of God.” Mark is subtle.
Mark’s opening sentence simply states “The beginning
of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.” Mark’s
Roman audience would have been aware of other gospels
declaring others to be a son of God. The Priene Calendar
Inscription hails Caesar Augustus as a savior of the world,
who will make wars to cease, and who will create order
everywhere. Whereas Caesar Augustus was a
human who was supposedly deified, Jesus Christ
is God who became flesh. Quite a contrast.
Paul continues the incarnation theme with expressions like
“But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth
His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law…” Paul
also states that “He is the image of the invisible God, the
fi rstborn of all creation.” Could Paul have been any clearer
than this description, “For in Him all the fullness of Deity
dwells in bodily form…”? The writer of Hebrews adds his
voice with comparable expressions like “He is the radiance
of His glory and the exact representation of His nature...”
Whereas Matthew, Mark and Luke give an earthly
perspective of the nativity, John seems to pull back the
curtain to give a cosmic view of Christmas. John starts
his Gospel with the description of the Word who existed
before time, was with God, was God, created all things
and who gives life and light to all. This Word, John states,
became fl esh. He and the other disciples beheld “His glory,
glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and
truth.” John, probably countering some form of incipient
Gnosticism, states in his fi rst epistle that “What was from
the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen
with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with
our hands, concerning the Word of Life—and the life was
manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim
to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and
was manifested to us.” John is clear that the disciples’
experience with Jesus was no phantom or theophany.

BECAME FLESH
Dr. David M. Dippold has been
a faculty member at UVF since
1996. Prior to his position at
UVF, he was the lead pastor in
Buffalo, NY (13 years) and an
assistant pastor in Philadelphia,
PA (2 years). Dave , in addition
to his duties at UVF, is involved
in local churches as a teaching
pastor. He enjoys teaching and
interacting with UVF students
and local congregations. He
is married, has children and

They heard, they saw, they touched, and they
gave witness to the reality of the Word made
flesh. Later in the same letter, John declares that “By this
you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that
Jesus Christ has come in the fl esh is from God; and every
spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is
the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is
coming, and now it is already in the world.”
It is in the Revelation that the cosmic ramifi cations of the
Word made fl esh are vividly pictured. John uses the word
“sign” in both 12:1 and 3. Signs signify. Signs point to
realities beyond the sign itself. John means that this vision
is pointing to something signifi cant for the reader; excuse
the pun, the vision is pregnant with meaning.
• The woman is a sign of Israel as the source of
the Christ in the broadest understanding but is
represented or fulfi lled by Mary in the nativity story.
• The Dragon is a sign of Satan in the broadest
understanding but is fulfi lled by Herod the Great in the
nativity story.
• The Male child is Jesus. A cosmic battle in the
heavens begins and then is continued on the earth
after the Dragon is thrown down.
“Silent night, holy night, all is calm…” Maybe
not... The cosmic picture is quite different. The
silent night, holy night was not all that silent; a
war waged, seven headed dragons appeared,
God’s army and Satan’s army aligned for battle,
a baby son, a male, was born and literally all
heaven broke loose! Dragons roared, demons
fought, angels warred and a Child arose the
victor. All those who follow the Child will be victors
too. John records that “they overcame him (the dragon)
because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the
word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even
when faced with death.” Behold, the Word became fl esh.
In that act of Incarnation salvation was secured for “as
many as receive Him.” This is the Gospel of Christmas. As
the Christmas carol proclaims,
“Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing…O’ Come let us adore
Him…” This Christmas, let us truly adore Christ the Lord!

Obedient Editing
In July 2020, I stepped into a story that had been written and re-written many times since 1956.
In the sixty-four year history of Faith Assembly of God, the story had exciting chapters, diffi cult
chapters, effective chapters and dim chapters. As the newly elected lead pastor, I wondered and
prayed what the next chapter of this church’s story would hold.
When you write a story, you start with a blank page, full of possibility. When you step into a story,
the pages are fi lled with history and a few crazy characters who have endured some insane plot
twists. It quickly became clear to me that the job of a leader is to be an editor. Our task is to
identify problems and remove them, recognize good things and keep them and determine the
mediocre replacing it with something better. A good editor handles the story and characters with
care while being honest, intentionally evaluating areas in need of improvement.
On the very fi rst Christmas, Jesus stepped into a story with history, crazy characters and plot
twists. He entered the story not merely becoming a character but changing the direction and focus
of future chapters. Jesus simultaneously lived in the story and directed the story, editing out the
bad, keeping the good and replacing the so-so with intention and direction.
Determining good and bad is much easier than the
process of replacing the so-so with intention and
direction. For Jesus, that looked like replacing the Law
of Moses with the Law of Christ. The Law of Christ is
summed up in Matthew 22:37-39 (NIV), “Jesus replied:
“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is
the fi rst and greatest commandment. And the second is
like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
For Faith Assembly, replacing the so-so meant taking the
red pen to the way we interacted with our neighbors. We
collectively prayed, asking God to give us opportunities
to be the best neighbor in our community. Loving our
neighbors well meant replacing our mid-week service, a
tradition that had become so-so in our context, with a
weekly presence in our community. We planted The Table
Dinner Church in October of 2021 at our local Fire Hall.
Each week, we serve dinner to 65-75 of our neighbors,
most of whom are unchurched. We’ve had the
opportunity to build relationships with live-in fi refi ghters,
resource neighbors in need and share Jesus through
authentic relationship. This edit was a big change to our
church story resulting in increased discipleship of those in
the church and increased opportunity to share Jesus with
those outside of the church.
Unlike the pages of a book, our story is in the middle, the writing and editing occurring in real time
at the same time. A red pen to an already written page is less messy than a red pen to a story with
no pages and characters with free will. Editing is messy work, just ask Mary who delivered a baby
in a stable or Jesus who washed feet and shared meals with sinners.
I pray that God gives you divine discernment concerning necessary edits in your
context and divine wisdom to handle your story and unique characters with care.
Through our obedient editing, God continues to write the story He began in the
beginning.

Recently, our family needed to take a trip to Philadelphia
for a medical visit. As we entered the city, my three year
old son, Westyn, began to scream and shout, ”Look at
that, Dad! Wow! Those are big buildings! There’s a train… there’s
a fi re truck… there’s police cars. What is that over there?” He
was in wonder at the sights he was experiencing in Philadelphia.
The word “behold” simply means to see or observe. My son was
seeing, observing or beholding many things he had never seen.
He was in awe! I, on the other hand, have been to Philadelphia
so many times that I often don’t pay attention to the sights. They
have become familiar to me. I often forget the scale and wonder
of the city, the cool buildings, and the fi rst-time observations that
my son was thrilled to experience.
Mark your calendars
to join us for these
exciting events in 2023:
Behold…
A CHILD’S
PERSPECTIVE
The Christmas story is one that most people have heard many
times. However, just as I have become so familiar with the sights
and sounds of Philadelphia, I am afraid that we are guilty of
becoming too familiar with the miracle of Christ’s birth. Often,
we forget to stop and behold the wonder of this world changing
event. This year, I encourage you to take a step back and marvel
at the greatness of God sending His Son to be Emmanuel,
God with us. Come to Christ with child-like faith. Soak in and
behold the magnitude of God’s profound love as if you’ve never
experienced it before.
“Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto
you is born this day in the city of David a Savior,
which is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:10-11

Christmas,
The Greatest Time To...
Christmas has become one of my all-time favorite
holidays. It brings me back to fun memories as a
child, setting up the Christmas tree, placing the
outdoor lights, setting up the nativity scene, hot chocolate
and lots of cookies. Its all so much fun. It makes me want to
create and develop fun memories with my kids. In the Cali
house, Christmas movies can play all year round. Christmas
music makes a grand entrance on my birthday in September,
and we love it! We know everyone doesn’t have the same
passion for Christmas like we do. However, when we have the
Christmas decorations up and the Christmas music playing,
we are making a statement to those around us, ‘its time for
Christmas’. We hope others can enjoy the season as well.
I’m reminded by a verse in John, Chapter 1. John the Baptist
sees Jesus in the distance on his way toward him. John makes
this bold statement
“Behold! The Lamb of God who takes
away the sin of the world!”
He wanted everyone around him to know who this man was.
He was hoping others would be excited and join him in believing
who Jesus is. Imagine if the people around you were given an
opportunity to hear about Jesus?
Christmas tends to be one of the greatest moments for us
as Christians to make a BOLD statement to others who we
believe in and why. It’s a wonderful time to be reminded (by
the facts) that Jesus did not have to come down from heaven.
Jesus, the Son of God, could have kept to his divinity and
remained in Heaven. However, he chose to be obedient to God
the Father and still have His divine nature, yet come to earth
and live as a human. Jesus chose to lay down the comforts of
Heaven for the sake of giving all mankind access to the gates
of Heaven. He knew the cross was in his future. He was willing
in hopes that no one will perish and go to Hell. The sad reality
is, people will die and go to Hell, but if people place their faith
in Jesus they will die and go to Heaven. Someone just needs
to tell them about Jesus and give them the opportunity to
make their own personal decision. Maybe it can be your
BOLD statement that you make.
In PennDel Youth one of our ministries is Youth Alive. We
challenge students to be BOLD in their faith and become
campus missionaries, students who share Jesus in their
schools and beyond. This past school year we had a few
campus missionaries in Western PA that decided to share
Jesus in their schools. In two different schools these campus
missionaries had the idea to set up a table of Bibles and Youth
Alive resources in their lunch room. They were willing to lay
down the comforts of just eating lunch, as usual, to stand next
to a table ready to give Bibles away and have conversations
with students about God, pointing them to Jesus. They were
willing to take any criticism in hopes that students would learn
about Jesus. When I asked one of them why they did it, they
said, “I’m sick and tired of waiting. These students need to
hear about Jesus.”
This Christmas season, I challenge you to think
of creative ways to share Jesus BOLDLY in your
community, in your workplace and in your schools.
Would you consider brainstorming with your
students to see how you can share Jesus in your
local schools and community during this Christmas
season? Maybe you can provide Bibles to hand out,
give out cookies to every student before Christmas
break, create a gift basket for some students or
teachers, etc. No matter how you choose to share
Jesus, be intentional and prepared to give reason
why you do what you do.
Jesus’ death on that cross was the overpayment of your
sins and mine. The blood he shed on that cross covers your
coworkers, colleagues, students and neighbors sins as well.
Who will share this great news with them?
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him,
and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes
away the sin of the world!" John 1:29
Check out some of the resources to help keep you and
your students sharing Jesus in your community.

MINISTER CARE & CHURCH RECALIBRATION | Jason Tourville | 717.795.5921 | jason@penndel.org
Behold…MY REWARD
As my grandfather laid in a hospice bed in Northeast Pennsylvania, his words were few and his days were numbered. I
visited with him the day before he joined the Church Triumphant, held his hand, and we sang the song he taught me as
a child. While his mind was unable to form sentences, his spirit was still able to praise the Lord. While I do not remember
many of my grandfather’s conversational topics with me, I do remember these last moments singing the message of salvation.
The fi nal chapter of Revelation marks the completed words of the Holy Scripture, God’s revelation to humanity. With a sense of
urgency and alarm, the apostle John shares the message recorded in heaven with us as its intended recipient. It begins with
the attention grabbing New Testament word, BEHOLD, giving this passage a particular vivacity, bidding the read to give their
attention to what follows. “Behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to give to everyone according to his work.”
(Revelation 22:12) The weight of these words presses into our souls three important realities.
“Behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to give to every one according to his work.”
(Revelation 22:12, NKJV)
The Imminent Return:
The Lord reinforces the timing and
manner in which He will come. Since
He sees time through eternal lenses,
one thousand years are like a day.
The “quick” nature of His return to
earth leads the reader to believe that it
could occur today, tomorrow or at any
moment. It also reminds us that when it
happens, it will happen in the twinkling
of an eye. When He comes, we must
be ready.
The Promised Reward:
When our children were young, anytime
I left on an extended trip, they knew to
expect dad to bring something back for
them. They were unsure exactly what
it was, but they would wait with gleeful
anticipation. From a pretty bracelet
from Honduras, to a Maasai club from
Tanzania, my four children would greet
me at the door with hugs and smiles
knowing their father had something in
his bag for them. May child-like faith
arise within our hearts once again,
longing for the reward Jesus will have
in His “bag” for us.
The Workman’s Work:
Let us not be mistaken, our work for
the Lord matters. He is watching,
making notes, keeping records.
The Lord, who sees all and forgets
nothing, will return with a reward, one
according to your work. It is not our
intentions that garner this prize, but the
actual work we accomplish. Paul also
reminds us in 1 Corinthians 13:12-
13a, “Now if anyone builds on this
foundation with gold, silver, precious
stones, wood, hay, straw, each one’s
work will become clear; for the Day will
declare it…” Friends, let us work for
that prize.
These last few words of Revelation mark for us a focus. We are called to attention with BEHOLD.
May we have the ears to hear what the Spirit is saying!
As my grandfather mumbled out the words of his spirit in song, I was once again reminded
of what was truly important…ETERNITY! While our hands work on earth, may our hearts look
toward Heaven.

Hope Arabic Christian Church started at the end of last year as a part of the PennDel
Ministry Network. Our vision is to reach the Arabs from all backgrounds with Christ to
make disciples, train them and send them to reach others.
God has sent us to the USA for such a time to reach out to this group in their Arabic
language and their culture here in the States, and to be your voice and representatives
as missionaries among them. God brought them and brought us for a reason.
Although we are passing through a great challenge as a family as we mourn the loss of
our oldest daughter, Tina, God is helping us to fulfi ll this vision. We gather every Sunday
at Harrisburg First Assembly where we feel at home and are greatly supported.
The great news is that Hope Arabic Church, a newly
born church, is growing. We have met many new
families from Egypt in their businesses and at stores. In
addition to our regular service, we have kids’ ministry
and youth group ministry which is growing too.

Van Needed
We discovered another group of elderly couples who
are not able to drive. They are eager to come to our
church, but they cannot. Since they do not drive, they
need transportation to bring them to the church to
enjoy God’s presence with us.
We are praying and asking God to provide the church
with a van or a minibus to help these dear brothers and
sisters to be a part of the Hope Arabic Church family.
If your church has an extra van or minibus to donate
to the church, would you please help us to reach more
Arabs for Christ?
Training Arabs to Reach Others
The good news for the training and equipping of the saints for the work of ministry is that we started ASOM, Arabic School
of Ministry. We will be able to train Arabic speakers all over the USA via zoom. This School is under the AG Arabic Fellowship
and PennDel School of Ministry.
We are praying that God leads you to join us in fulfi lling the Great Commission
by supporting us by any amount toward our monthly budget.

385 MILES
PER HOUR
It was a sight to behold… I can’t fully wrap my mind around
what that very fi rst Christmas looked like. I know it must
have been so many things. I am certain that those involved
all had their own perception of what it was like. I love that we
can gather a glimpse through different eyes as we read the
various authors of the gospels. It’s always interesting to me to
see and hear the perception of others and what truly excites
them. My grandpa often had a different perspective on life
and situations that offered challenges. He would say things
like “pull up a rock” which typically meant grab that bucket,
fl ip it upside down, have a seat and we will talk through it
while I kept doing whatever it was that had his attention.
There was always something on the farm that needed to be
fi xed and there was always work to be done during daylight
hours. I loved that he was willing to take time with me
though, off ering just the right perspective that was drafted
throughout his years on this earth.
He loved taking me to air shows, where we would wait with
bated breath for the P-51 Mustangs to make their debut.
He knew all the stats on just about anything that we saw.
Grandpa would often rattle off information that no one
else knew or was even interested in: “These Mustangs are
equipped with an Allison V-1710-81 engine and a threebladed
Curtiss Electric constant-speed propeller and just
listen to that 1250 horsepower engine purr!” “Look at
that” (Behold!) as they did a low pass flyby in
formation; he would “lean in” and listen to them
as goosebumps covered his arms. His love of fl ying
was contagious and instilled in me a hunger to see more
vintage airplanes and the awe and wonder that accompanied
anything capable of soaring into the wild blue sky. As we
walked up on the group of Mustangs that had just landed
and were now being offered as conversation pieces, the
engines still hot from the fl ight, we would walk as close as we
could get and say… “Behold!” Well, that’s essentially what
happened. Not in those words but he was so excited to get
close, feel the heat coming from that Allison motor, see the
texture of the wings and the smell of the exhaust still radiating
from the now stationary powerhouse capable of 385 miles
per hour.
If Grandpa was that excited about an airplane, can you go
with me to that moment in time when the King of Kings
and Lord of Lords was lying in a manger following a wild
sequence of events? The announcement of His birth to
several diff erent individuals, the Virgin Mary and her soon-tobe
husband, Joseph, and all of the emotions that came with
this baby’s arrival, their journey, the census and their arrival in
the lowly manger. I can imagine as it is recalled in Luke 2:10
when the Angel proclaimed, “Behold, I bring you good
tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.”
He was saying “LOOK” or please take a moment to see, feel
and hear what’s happening! Behold, listen up, look at this,
hear ye, hear ye, your attention, please! However you want
to articulate it, this proclamation of excitement was to get
our attention. In the same way 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Behold,
ALL things have become new” contains the very
same Greek word used here (idou) speaking of the new life
following the salvation of the sinner. Look and listen (behold),
this is the greatest of miracles that you can experience today
in your life! Can we “Behold” or pay attention this Christmas?
Not because you feel like you have to, but because it’s your
heart’s desire. Will you pause with me for a moment, close
yourself into this knowledge that Jesus came for you, and
listen to what He’s speaking to you? Grandpa was not
afraid to get close and “Behold,” are you? I pray that
you have an incredible Christmas with your family.

PennDel Royal Rangers
As we prepare to celebrate Jesus’ birth, death and resurrection, we can look back and see that on
the sixth day of creation everything was not just good, but we are told to “behold” it was very good
(Gen 1:31). Death entered this world because of sin and since all have sinned, all have experienced
separation from God. He provided a way for our relationship to be restored through sending His son to die on
the cross to pay the penalty for our sin.
Many of our boys are exposed to teaching in school, that evolution, starting with non-living matter created life
and then all living things we see came about by many cycles of death over millions of years. This process of
chance, using mistakes, supposedly created more and more complex living things. Although there is literally no
basis for believing it, it is taught as fact. It is so important that our boys learn the truth - they have been created
in God’s image, are not here by chance and have a purpose for their life.
It seems that our culture and public schools are introducing many other anti-Biblical concepts as well. In this
confusion, it is important that our boys are anchored to the truth found in God’s Word. Royal Rangers has a
Bible Merit lesson and devotion each week.
This is an excellent discipleship program, and we would encourage any church that doesn’t have it, to look
into this very fl exible program that you can implement at your church. At the district and section level, PennDel
Royal Rangers supports the church ministry through a camp and events boys enjoy and where they can be
evangelized, equipped and empowered to be Godly servant leaders.

Behold
HE WILL DO A NEW THING!
Behold: to see or observe; Used 1298 times in the KJV;
biblical meaning - “be sure to see”
In biblical times this admonition meant to take notice, be aware, understand what is happening. The most
memorable to me are, “Behold, the Lamb,” “Behold, I stand at the door and knock,” and “Behold, I will do a new
thing...”. Each of these are proclamations of what our Lord is doing for us!
As we enter into the midst of the Christmas season, we can look forward to the New Year. That is a time of new
beginnings, of a fresh start! Whether it is refreshing our devotional time or making changes in our nutritional
intake, we love to put behind us the mistakes and poor time/motivational management. So, this time, start early.
Begin your new habits BEFORE 2023 begins.
Remind yourself with phone reminders, post-it notes on your mirror, accountability friends - “Behold, I will
do a new thing!” Our God is cutting edge. He never changes His purpose nor His core values. He does not
overlook sin. But He is always looking to redeem! Behold (be sure to see), He (our Lord) is doing a new thing
(salvation, redemption, refreshment, refi lling)!
