We are waiting, we are preparing for Christ’s coming – as the world waited more than 2000 years ago – but we know that in Advent our focus needs to be, not on the waiting but on who we are waiting for. We are waiting for Christ to come, waiting to celebrate once again the dawn of the new day when nothing would be the same.
Children may anticipate with joy the coming of Santa Clause.
Adults may prepare for families coming together at the holidays.
There are others in Guatemala that are also awaiting with joyful anticipation the coming of Dr. Brent Burket and Dr. Jennifer Thoene who will begin a three year assignment to Hospitalito in January.
In Uganda, the hospital awaits the coming of Dr. Ron and Mrs. Barbara Wick in January.
In Cameroon, Sr. Xaveria is awaiting the coming of Dr. James and Mrs. Terry Hake.
These doctors and others serve because Christ has already been born in their hearts and they can’t wait to share their skills and their faith with others.
Please keep all mission doctors and their families in your prayers this Holy Season.
We wait together. We know who we are waiting for, and we know that once again we can strive to be the one others are waiting for.
