“The Lord has done this for me,” she said. “In these days He has shown His favor and taken away my disgrace among the people” (Luke 1:25).We see throughout Scripture examples of God using those who were barren to display His life-giving power…Elizabeth,Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Hannah. God’s intervention in Elizabeth’s life came after it was no longer reasonable for her to hope.However, Elizabeth continued to hope in the Lord, and her faith was rewarded by the birth of a son who became John the Baptist. In addition, Elizabeth became an integral part of the story of Jesus’ birth when Mary came to visit her.2020 has been a year like none other in recent memory. With so many constraints and the loss of the normal routines of our lives, many of us may be approaching this Christmas season wondering where God is in the midst of the chaos. We can learn from Elizabeth’s example to wait expectantly on the Lord for what only God can do.The message of this season is Immanuel, God with us. Thank you for partnering in prayer with us to see this message of hope delivered to the world through our Savior, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas!Until all have heard,

Edward W. CannonPresident and CEO
