For He will deliver the needy when he cries, The poor also, and him who has no helper. He will spare the poor and needy, And will save the souls of the needy."

Dear People of God,

“Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and [a]the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.” (Titus 1:4) “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name.” (Ps. 100:4). I pray you are doing well and that you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a great one, as both had Noah and Kreslie with us for the first time in a while. Being with family is a blessing all of us agree is worth more than anything in this world.

When I was a “lad of a boy,” my mom & Dad made sure I took part in everything at church on Sundays and Wednesdays. That included a meeting on Wednesday called “Royal Ambassadors” (RA’s), much like the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), but geared especially to Christians. I am not sure if they still have such a thing. There were a lot of activities which were great fun, such as camping and other outdoor events. There was a pledge, like Scouts have. And there was a motto, which was “We are Ambassadors of Christ.”

An ambassador is “a person of high rank employed by a government to represent it and transact its business at the seat of government of some other power.” For a couple of weeks, I have thought about that time in my life and what it means to be an ambassador. Looking back over the last 50+ years I hope I have been an “Ambassador for Christ” in the truest sense of the word.

The pledge of the RA’s is: "As a Royal Ambassador I will do my best to become a well-informed responsible follower of Christ; to have a Christ like concern for all people; to learn how the message of Christ is carried around the world; to work with others in sharing Christ; and to keep myself clean and healthy in mind and body.” That pledge is indeed something I hope I have lived up to as best I could.

I have written what God has been burning in my mind for these last two weeks, which I pray will bless you and inspire all of us to represent our Savior to the best of our ability. Everything we do in DLEA is to fulfill that pledge and live up to that motto. Every child we touch, every “casita” we build, every widow we help, and every soul that is save is because “We are Ambassadors for Christ.”

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love for the Lord Jesus and for your being the heart of this ministry that keeps us on the front lines representing our Lord and Savior. May bless every prayer and every dollar you give. Please continue to pray often for me.

In His Service,

Danny

When I was child in school (4th grade), the teachers were not only allowed to read from the Bible, but they also assigned us to memorize certain scriptures. Ones like Psalm 100: “Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands! Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.”

Because they taught me things such as this (along with my parents and Sunday School teachers) God has used me to teach literally hundreds of little lives like these to love Jesus and to pray like these children. Through the love of God’s people, every day DLEA touches little lives like these so that “His truth endures to all generations.”

As we embark on this Christmas season, I thought back on over 4 decades of work through DLEA and we have used this season to bring hope and life to tens of thousands of people. As I shared with you last month, we are praying that you will help us give the best Christmas baskets ever this year. Our goal is to bless 100 families with a basket full of food and holiday treats that will bless them on Christmas Eve (“Noche Buena”). This year’s basket will cost about $75 each, including hot homemade tamales to be delivered on that day. I am asking our supporters to buy one or more of these baskets in addition to your regular faithful monthly support.

Every time we distribute hundreds of pounds of food and supplies to our widows and poor couples, there is great thanksgiving from their hearts. (Psalm 95:1-2) “Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.”

If you have not supported us lately, we are asking you to please step up and make a family happy and blessed, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:19). I love you deeply and thank you so much from the depth my heart! “And may all your Christmas’s be bright!”
