AM 2014, as it comes to a close, has proven to be a year filled with change as weve
said goodbye to dear friends and communities and hello to the new relationships
and adventures God has planned for us. It
was filled with moments of rejoicing when
the Duvenhages announced a baby on the
way, Tessa became a wife, new camping
relationships in communities like Claastroom and Prince Albert were a success,
and new doors have opened in unreached
communities like Zoar. 2014 was a year
marked with challenges that we saw God
overcome. Challenges like a distance split
amongst our staff as some were in Transkei,
others were in Cape town. Things like allowing God to close doors to communities that
we have grown to love like Hout Bay Harbor,
saying goodbye to our dear friends,
colleagues and mentors, the Nunleys, and
also watching and partaking in the a difficult healing and sanctification process of so
many within JAM and in the communities
weve worked in. As a staff, we have come
students have only blossomed into amazing young leaders fully capable of impacting their communities and we are only too
eager to see where God will take them and
how they will share their training. Weve
watched them grow into a character that
so much resembles that of Our Jesus and
weve also watched them step up into new
roles of leadership whether that be speaking in front of crowd, leading a bible study,
leading worship, facilitating a small group,
or even learning independent living. All in
all, God has been so present and so good to
us this past year. Thank you so much for all
of your continued support and we eagerly
await what God has for us in 2015!

Hello friends!
We would just like to wish you a very merry Christmas from the JAM family to your
family. We are filled with so much Jabulani and rejoicing not only as we see the year
come to a close and marvel at all that God has done this year. But also, we rejoice
over the coming of our king and the celebration of his birth. May you and your family be truly blessed this Christmas season continuing through all of next year. Our
prayer for you is that you will have much to rejoice over as you look back on all God
has done for you in your life this year and all that He has planned for you in the
future. Praise be to our king! The JAM Team
