December 2008

Merry Christmas! "But the angel said to them, Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord." Luke 2: 10-11

A Christmas thought from the GM
On behalf of the entire board and staff of The Bridge, I bring you joyous Christmas blessings. We're in awe of what God is doing through the ministry of The Bridge. If this ministry has been a blessing in your life, would you prayerfully consider a financial gift to help us continue to bring God's Word to the NY/NJ metro area... and throughout the world through the internet. You can consider becoming a Bridge Builder which we explain in detail below. A gift of any amount would be appreciated. If you want to get really excited about the impact this ministry is having in people's lives, just read some Testimonials!
