Update from Isabel Fernandes

The Christmas Bells continue to ring, calling people to see what the Lord has made known to us.
Using the festive season to share the Message of the True Christmas has always been my custom. This year, I have been using the Christmas Market for this purpose. There we meet people, talk, wish them a Merry Christmas, and offer calendars with Bible messages. It is my habit never to mention any terms related to religion or church while doing this activity. Even so, I confess that I am shocked to see that people are becoming more averse every day to any allusion to God. In these days, I have encountered attitudes of indifference, looks of disdain, and rejection. Many people refused to accept the calendar as a gift as soon as they realized its content.
