Dear Faithful Friends,
As we come to the end of a both wonderful and painful year filled with
struggles—our people struggling, our children struggling, church struggles,
COVID fear struggles—it’s easy to wonder “why”. Romans 8: 32 tells us “He
that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not
with him also freely give us all things?” We realize once again that our comfort
doesn’t come from always knowing “why” but it does come in knowing Him,
and He is generous and good. We are so thankful for His working in our family
as well as in His church in 2022.

In October we had a baby dedication for Shoneman and
Geraldine's little girl. Praise the Lord for a full house with
people we have been visiting with and inviting to come!
We had a wonderful time taking our Gypsies from Würzburg
and Bayreuth up to Grafenwöhr to minister at Grace Baptist
Church. Several of our Sintis gave their salvation testimonies
and our choir sang in English. It was very encouraging for our
people to step out of their comfort zone and minister in a new
setting.

In November we had a combined youth meeting in Würzburg
for both our Würzburg and Bayreuth young people. The youth
group from Saarland came down for three days of meetings
with preaching, songs, and fellowship. Please pray for special
meetings planned for Wurzburg the last Saturday and
Sunday of January.

It has been encouraging to see God use these times together
to encourage our people and start seeing them pick up
attendance after the mess of Corona. We have restarted
weekly Bible study in Bayreuth as well. Please, pray for
people’s fear to subside and for Christians to find comfort
in regular corporate worship as the body of Christ.

Family News: With travel restrictions lifted, Joanna has been
able to travel to Romania more often to help her parents there.
There is a wonderful airline that flies directly to Timisoara often
for under 20$ round trip! It has been wonderful to spend more
time with the Heisey’s and for our children to get to spend time
with their grandparents and uncle Jonathan and Aunt Kristy
and cousins. With Bruce’s family being so close in Germany, it
is such a blessing and a beautiful thing when God allows us as
missionaries to have family on this side of the world with us!

For Sint Souls,
Bruce , Joanna, Michelle, Lily , Chloe, Jimmy and Esther White
