The first question we usually get about this tour is — “Why would you go to Belarus in February — again — during one of coldest winters on record in Europe?”  Sure — we would love to enjoy this beautiful country sometime in more pleasant weather. But more importantly, this timing is strategic for helping our partner ministry there in a major annual event that is significant in their connection with young people and the community.

There is an inexhaustible supply of wonder at the coming of God-in-the-flesh to redeem fallen humanity. There is an understated majesty of humility in that the Lord of hosts should make, by human measure, a shabby and threadbare entrance onto the world stage. The people of the earth are desperate for the trappings of grandeur and the comfort of riches.  Human leaders want to surround themselves with props which bolster their  desire to appear powerful and significant: the decorations of vanity.

God needs no such empty posturing. The son of man came as a human baby born to a poor family in an insignificant village to be the savior of all mankind, not just for those of society blessed. He came in the most commonly plain way imaginable. Torn cloth strips for clothing, a borrowed feeding trough for his bed, lowly shepherds as witnesses. The plan of God, the heart of the Father of lights was for the redeemer to arrive quietly unadorned by the trappings of wealth and power.  When human kings arrive on the scene they demand esteem, acquiescence and subservience . . . but the King of glory did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Gratefully and humbly we serve this King, and desire that all would come to worship Him.

GREG AND BECKY DAVIS  and family have returned to Germany for their second term with Proclaim. Now Greg is adding to his responsibilities serving in the recording studio of Janz Team and teaching in their newly formed music academy, SchallWerkStadt. This is a unique school offering practical training in music and the associative arts and intensive Bible courses to prepare young believers for future ministry and outreach through music.

Recently the audio students got practical training on an annual Advent tour in Germany helping with set up and assisting Greg who is the sound tech for the tour. In that process they also learned from experienced musicians who creatively communicated the significance of this Advent season. Greg says,  Danny weaves life stories into the performance and the message is clear: the reason we celebrate Christmas is because of Jesus.
