WHAT A MIGHTY GOD What a mighty God we serve What a mighty God we serve Angels bow before Him Heaven and earth adore Him What a mighty God we serve

I’D RATHER HAVE JESUS I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold, I'd rather be His than have riches untold; I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands, I'd rather be led by his nail-pierced hands. Than to be a king of a vast domain Or be held in sin's dread sway I'd rather have Jesus than anything This world affords today. I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause, I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause; I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame, I'd rather be true to His holy name.

MISSIONS

N o r t h A f r i c a n s o f t h e N e t h e r l a n d s January marks the start of a new year and brings with it new begin-nings and new opportunities in the Netherlands! English classes in local community centers and refugee centers will be starting up again, allowing believers to connect with North African and Middle Eastern peoples and build relationships that can lead to sharing. Individual believers and churches will also have occasions to partner together in reaching out to the North African and Middle Eastern community. Pray for boldness for believers as they go out into the community to have conversations. Ask that those to whom the be-lievers reach out will have hearts that are open and receptive to the Truth. Pray also for believers to build deep relationships with each other as well as with North African and Middle Eastern friends.
