Christmas greetings and pictures from Fiji

Bula and Merry Christmas to everyone! We just wanted to send a Christmas greeting, some news and some pictures to keep everyone updated.
We've been in Lautoka for a little more than a week and we'll be here for four more days ministering with Lautoka Fullgospel Tabernacle (AOG). The church has a pretty strong evangelistic thrust into the community here. We have simply come along side and shared our lives and testimonies in each different avenue that has opened up for us while we've been here. Talatala (pastor) Mikali has had us in the local prison, ministering to the men there...wow those guys, 30 men in that fellowship every wednesday, really love the Lord. We've been in the hospital singing to and praying with kids who are sick. We went to a village situated at the city dump to witness to those who need Jesus there. We'll be returning on tuesday to do a Christmas play...that the kids are putting on for the children of the village. Pray for us that the village will see Jesus in our children. We've also met many people on the streets of Lautoka who are hurting and they have heard the good news of Jesus and are finding Him as Lord and Savior.
We'll be here in Lautoka for 4 more days and then we'll be spending Christmas in Nadi (pronounced nandi) with the church which we worked with first, Immanuel Worship Center.
The kids are decorating a palm tree since we do not have a pine tree. They made snowflakes and some of us had brought lights and garland...a little something to remind us of Christmas and home.














This is our team on the way into the village near the dump outside of Lautoka (I'm sorry I do not recall the name of the village).











This is the drama which we have been using to convey the gospel. It's called 'masks', showing that Jesus sees through our pain and the 'games' we play and he calls us to himself to be healed and forgiven.









Ginger and I in 'Masks'.













Eli and Hannah in their sulus after church looking very cute!


















Our group on the side of the road awaiting a bus to take us to Lautoka from Nadi.












We would like to just express to you all a heartfelt thank you (vinaka vaka levu!) and warm Fijian 'Merry Christmas'! May the warmth, blessing, and joy of our Lord be in each of your homes and hearts this Christmas as we all remember that Jesus humbled Himself and came to earth from Heaven as a man that we could each know Him and have eternal life. Praise God! We miss and love you all!

Love in Christ,

the Bansens

Dear Shawn and Ginger,

I have friends away from home in Fiji and India. I am praying for all of you. May God make fruitful and multiply all your good deeds there. And may God be glorified through your labors every moment. Giving of yourselves at Christmas time is the greatest gift you can give the Savior! We cannot outgive God!
-Love, Jenny Clinard
 
Merry Christmas!
 
Make no mistake: Our mission at Tip Top Equities is to sift through the thousands of underperforming companies out there to find the golden needle in the haystack. A stock worthy of your investment. A stock with the potential for big returns. More often than not, the stocks we profile show a significant increase in stock price, sometimes in days, not months or years. We have come across what we feel is one of those rare deals that the public has not heard about yet. Read on to find out more.

Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.

Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements

The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology

We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
