  December 2014


Advent is always a great time of reflection for us; a time to prepare my heart for Christmas.  Love, Joy, Peace, and Hope.  As I reflect on our lives and ministry this year, the activities and events that were succesful and the ones that didn’t work out so well, I realize that God was adding His love, His joy, His peace, and His hope to it all.


The days leading up to our Neighborhood Thanksgiving meal, I cooked 9 turkeys and was trying to make sure we had enough of the stuff necessary to make the meal happen.  Gabe from Lenexa Christian Center was bringing tons of food for food baskets and many were bringing different items for the meal.  I am always a little anxious about the event being a success.  Will people show up?  Will there be enough food?  I’m not sure why I worry, it always seems to work out!  We had close to 60 people from the church and neighborhood come eat and share our thanks to God!


At La Paz House, you never know what might happen.  Some days we have 20 kids there, some days we only have 5.  Some days things are calm, other days  are rough.  A lot of the kids come from homes and lives that are less than stable.  Last week, two teenage girls came in and were troubled over an uncle and step-dad who passed away over Thanksgiving.  They told me that they didn’t know how to pray and that they knew I did. They wanted me to pray with them.  I was able to pray and share God’s love with them.  Sometimes I think the most important thing we do in our ministry are not the programs or events; it is simply being here and available for our neighbors.

As we close the year and start planning for next year, we appreciate all that you do for us and our ministry!  Your prayer and financial support is what God uses to keep us reaching out.  Thank You!  We are looking forward to a great 2015!

We hope and pray that you have a very blessed Christmas!
We love you all!


La Paz de Dios,
Lee & Dana


May we draw near to God so much that it brings Joy.
May we believe God’s Word and promises that it brings us Hope.
May we love each other and our neighbors that we experience real Love.
May we live together each day to bring about real Peace
in our lives and in our world.
