Peace in Chaos
The scene wasn’t tidy. From a human standpoint, Christ didn’t choose perfection when He picked a time to step into history as a Jewish baby.

Updates from the Eastern Caribbean District
In November, Pastor Stephen Marcel was elected District Overseer for the next two years. The churches participate in Caribbean-wide intercessory prayer the first Sunday of each month. They pray for works in the E. C., Jamaica, Haiti, and the Cayman Islands. This year, the E. C. District Youth Camp turned 30 years old. It could not be held as regularly scheduled, however, but was instead held virtually. These efforts were led by Pastor Gleason Brooks and Pastor Lindon Clarke.
