I almost could not wait to tumble into 2012.
If you’ve had a shaky 2011, I strongly recommend you to read our last post of 2011, “15 reminders for uncertain times.”
And as a small new year’s gift, here’s our newsletter and the video we made for our partners for this month and year. You can also choose to receive our monthly ministry newsletter by partnering with us here. (Added bonus: You receive my first book for free!)
It is always a pleasure to pray with you and even more so as we step into the new year. I hope you were blessed with the newsletter and the video!
Baby on Board!
We want to take this moment to announce that the Lord has blessed us. Tiny Mathew, my wife is pregnant and we are expecting our first baby in March 2012. I am excited, scared (a bit… at the thought of being a father), delighted – all at once. I will keep my thoughts about becoming a father for another time but for now I just want to share that the Lord has been keeping Tiny and the baby well. I will keep you updated. Can I kindly request you to keep us three in your prayers? Please pray that the Lord will anoint, lead, provide and guide us for His glory.

Support GTH
I just want you to know (if you were ever wondering… perhaps not!) that the greatest gift that you can give us on GTH as a writer here is to simply tell other people about the resources that we’ve created for you!
Whether it’s emailing some of the links and/or content to a co-worker, or even using the social buttons on the left to share the GTH blog – it’s all a blessing to us!
One of our friends asked for a code to make it easy for him to put it up on his blog and I thought it would be good to put it up here for anyone that would like to use it on their site.
Thanks again to all our partners and friends of this ministry – I appreciate YOU!
Wishing you once again a blessed and prosperous new year 2012! Stay tuned for some awesomeness next week onwards!
Love,
Shyju, Tiny & the baby.
