2005 Advent Devotions, Week Two
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given . . . and he
will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince
of Peace."
--Isaiah 9:6
God loves us unconditionally. By His grace, we are saved. Through His
death and resurrection, we are privileged to share in His kingdom.
In Alaska and the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state, and in Canada
through our partner — My People International, the Lutheran Association
of Missionaries and Pilots U.S. shares this message with North American
Native people. It is a challenging, but vital ministry.
Changes in recent centuries have brought upheaval to Northern
societies. As Native economies, lifestyles, and values were challenged,
suicide, alcoholism, and drug abuse grabbed hold of these communities.
Poverty, anger and despair now threaten many Native communities.
The areas where many Native people live are hard to reach — both
physically and spiritually. As we proclaim God's Word to all who will
listen, we also understand it is very important we honor their Native
heritage. Our ministry affirms the diversity of God's creation and the
unity we share in Christ.
"And the God of all graces, who called you to His eternal glory
in Christ, after you suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and
make you strong, firm and steadfast."
--1 Peter 1:2
We are messengers of God's grace to a people in need.
