Often families send out Christmas/end-of-the-year letters to their family and friends to relate what has happened throughout the year and how God has led and blessed. I would like to do the same with you, the ICR "family," as we look back on an incredible year. Through it all, our Lord has been faithful and showed Himself strong on ICR's behalf.

“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear” (I Peter 3:15).

“Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen” (I Timothy 1:17).

“But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:7,8).

“Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for His name” (Acts 15:14).

Our English word visit has come to mean a social call, but not so in the Greek where it can mean to inspect, to look upon in order to help, or benefit.
