Inter-Mission with David David Southerland
A great shock in my life was leaving years of missionary service in Europe and returning to... Europe! The United States didn’t seem to be the same country. Fortunately, one thing has remained fairly strong: Christmas celebration in churches where we actually sing Christmas carols and hear the beautiful story of the birth of God’s Greatest Gift. I have cherished every year at Christmas since our return. This year will be equally wonderful. All of us here at the Florida Baptist Association wish for each of you a joyful and memorable Christmas.
