Christmas Letter from the Walcotts

Dear Friends and Family,

Greetings from sunny Singapore, where we are definitely not having a white Christmas! We hope that you are all having a blessed and joyful Christmas season.

We have had a fruitful year and rejoice in God’s faithfulness to us over the last 12 months. We are both serving as leaders in Generations youth ministry (part of Cornerstone Community Church), where we lead one of the five zones. Generations has been steadily growing over the last few years and now has over 350 members! Cornerstone as a whole is also growing and it is a great joy to be working with the church.

Personally, Cameron has had the opportunity to speak at a few evangelistic events this year where many people have responded for salvation. He also is active in the church’s teaching ministry and has had the opportunity to do a number of writing projects for Generations. He writes two devotions a week for the Generations website (www.e-generations.org) and also produces an outline for a weekly Bible reading plan. Delia has still been enjoying teaching at East View Secondary School and being able to minister and provide counsel to the young people in the school, most of whom are unsaved and from various backgrounds. Some of her students have been born again and are now in a Generations cell group led by her cousin.

Of course, the highlight of the year for us was the birth of our son, Caleb Clark Walcott, on December 6th. Caleb is a big, healthy baby boy and a tremendous joy to us and our family. Delia is recovering very well from the caesarean surgery. We are enjoying our baby, especially this Christmas season. Cameron’s parents and his sister from Michigan arrived a few days ago and we are having a great time celebrating Christmas, together with Delia’s family.

We look with anticipation to the year 2007. Delia’s teaching contract with the ministry of education ends in July, and we are planning on visiting the States for the last three months of the year. Beyond that, we are seeking God for His direction in the year 2008, with the hope of going to the mission field full time.

You are in our prayers and we trust that you will have a great year ahead. You can visit Cameron’s website (www.cameronwalcott.blogspot.com) for his latest writing and for more regular updates on our lives and ministry here in Singapore. We hope you enjoy the attached photos, and we would love to hear back from you. Merry Christmas from the whole Walcott family!

God Bless,

Cameron and Delia and Caleb
