Merry Christmas from Step of Faith Ministry!
We are encouraged to participate and hear about how Jesus is being seen and heard both here in NJ and in Albania!
Last week at our Maple Leaf Tutoring Program in Brick, the students heard how Jesus came to redeem the world and because of this, we can celebrate His birth each Christmas! The children had a day of fun, feasting and gifts!
Meanwhile, in Albania, Leo’s children’s Christmas vision has encouraged children from their programs to go and Christmas carol around their (Muslim) villages, singing Christmas songs and handing out Christmas shoeboxes that have the Gospel message inside!
We thank you for praying for all our ministries, both near and far!

THANK YOU to all who are giving to help our friends help the many who have been affected by the recent (and continuing) flooding in ALBANIA. Your relief support is being used! And God’s timing is still perfect despite the tragedy… Months ago Nicole and I connected with In Touch Ministry (Charles Stanley) and had 500 of the Messenger Solar Bibles sent to Albania. They did not arrive until right before the flooding began! Today, they are going into the food boxes and being given to the Muslims in their areas who have lost everything. Please pray that the Gospel of Jesus Christ will be seen & heard mightily! There are still so many needs to meet, if you are able to help here is the direct link to Hands of Providence International https://www.handsofprovidenceinternational.org/giving
And you can give under Bundles of Blessings
Happy Thanksgiving!

Our team returned home from Albania a few weeks ago. Thank you for praying for us while we served with Pastor Plator & Nicole, along with their volunteers and staff with Hands of Providence! The picture below is “Paul’s Bridge” where it is said that the Apostle Paul walked over on one of his missionary journeys. Please click the link below the picture to watch our video full of amazing memories that we shared while together.
Above is a beautiful story of God’s faithfulness and timing… This year’s trip included a family of 3. Leora, the daughter on this trip, and I met when she was very young and in my acro gymnastics class at her mom Tina’s dance studio. As a young but gifted dancer, she learned gymnastics very quickly. Years later she decided to come to Albania…
While this is happening, a friend in Albania was struggling with depression. During one of our talks, I sent her the song The Truth by Megan Woods. After praying with her and asking our board to pray for her one night, she reached out the next morning to say that God healed her during the night and she felt free! As she began to live in this new found freedom, I felt led to ask Leora if she would be interested in dancing to the song The Truth at the Women’s Day Event that our team would be hosting while in Albania…she said of course! As it turned out, this song was also the opening song for this year’s dance recital at her mom’s dance studio. With many women in Albania just coming into their own relationship with Jesus and perhaps feeling alone or unsure, this song was perfect to encourage all in attendance! A story that we all were able to share together while in Albania… Thank you Jesus for Your faithfulness!
