News from the Jennings Family
Christmas 2007

Blessings to all of our loved ones near and far!

Here is a brief update on our family:

Joey continues to pastor Christ Wesleyan Church. This will be our 16th year here in Winston-Salem. He is also active in our district and enjoys leading an LDJ mentoring group of pastors. After much time, effort and prayer, he received his Doctor of Ministry degree from Gordon-Conwell in May of 2006. His project was "Preparing the Church for Revival."

Maribeth is active at the church in the areas of prayer, music, and women’s ministry. She has also run a taxi service for our busy family (until the past few weeks). She is enjoying being the mother of three active kids, but focuses much of her day working on school with Jesse.

Jesse is working at home to achieve his high school diploma on-line with Keystone National High School. He is also taking classes at the local community college. He is an avid photographer, which is an appropriate skill for his knack for seeing the world with a unique perspective. He also occasionally works on a horse farm for a man in our church.

Hannah is a junior at Reynolds High School and just received her driver’s license a few weeks ago. It is a good thing because she is a busy girl! She is excelling in school, is a gifted artist and is always doing something with the youth group or her service club. She also spends lots of time babysitting (gas money!)

Ben is 10 and is in his final year of elementary school. Ben is a cheerful and social (talkative) boy who loves tractors, particularly anything John Deere. We have not been able to explain this phenomenon, but nevertheless he has loved mowers since age one. He will be receiving his Arrow of Light for Cub Scouts at the end of this month and plays Upward Basketball at our church.

Thanks to all of you for your love and prayers through the years. God has been so faithful to bless us with such wonderful family and friends. May your Christmas truly shine with the light of Jesus’ love for you!

Love,
Joey, Maribeth, Jesse, Hannah and Ben
