MISSION MOMENTCarrie Cuddington with Wycliffe Bible Translators

 Carrie works with Wycliffe Caribbean in Jamaica. In her role as Technical Coordinator it has been challenging to adapt her responsibilities this past year. But, as she says, “it has been a blessing to see the Lord use me to flatten the learning curve of technology in ministering in this pandemic.” In her recent letter she shares:“It is the first of January, 2021. A difficult year is behind us; an unknown year is ahead. As we look to the coming days I pray that our delight and moment-by-moment meditation would be in the Lord and his Word…that according to the riches of his glory he would strengthen us through his Spirit in our inner beings so that Christ would dwell in our hearts through faith, that we would be rooted and grounded in his love like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in its season. To him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be the glory this year and forever.” Pray for Carrie: � Her role as technical coordinator� Relationships with the family she lives with� To declare God’s steadfast love in the morning, and His faithfulness by night.

King Of KingsVerse 1In the darkness we were waitingWithout hope without lightTill from Heaven You came runningThere was mercy in Your eyes

To fulfil the law and prophetsTo a virgin came the WordFrom a throne of endless gloryTo a cradle in the dirt

ChorusPraise the FatherPraise the SonPraise the Spirit three in oneGod of GloryMajestyPraise forever to the King of Kings

Verse 2To reveal the kingdom comingAnd to reconcile the lostTo redeem the whole creationYou did not despise the cross

For even in Your sufferingYou saw to the other sideKnowing this was our salvationJesus for our sake You died

Verse 3And the morning that You roseAll of heaven held its breathTill that stone was moved for goodFor the Lamb had conquered death

And the dead rose from their tombsAnd the angels stood in aweFor the souls of all who'd comeTo the Father are restored

Verse 4And the Church of Christ was bornThen the Spirit lit the flameNow this Gospel truth of oldShall not kneel shall not faint

By His blood and in His NameIn His freedom I am freeFor the love of Jesus ChristWho has resurrected me
