Merry Christmas from Kingdom Flight
|
|
Greetings!
We've seen Jesus this Christmas season. Much like the dirty, dusty stable where He chose to take on human form over 2000 years ago, He came in human form to another dirty, dusty shelter where the poorest of the poor live, to show His love and to make a way for us to know eternal life through His greatest gift. This time instead of coming in one human form as God Incarnate, His Spirit filled 18 wonderful people who were His hands and feet to the children of Kilometer 33.
We saw Jesus swing kids around, give them caballito (horsey) rides, polish fingernails, play basketball with boys, hold little girls, feed the hungry ones, hold the crying ones, sing with them, and sit and read the Bible with them. We saw Him considering others as more important than Himself and serving them with every ounce of His energy. We would encourage you to follow this link to our photo gallery from our Christmas event and see the Love of Jesus in action. You will be blessed.

We saw God's hand at every turn. He provided many wonderful toys for
the children through people who were prompted by His spirit and
obeyed. We were able to hand out Barbies to each girl that attended
the event, in addition to many wonderful baby dolls, many cars and
soccer balls to the boys, and each child was given a gift bag of
goodies in addition to a large gift. They heard the real meaning of
Christmas, and they were challenged to have hearts of integrity toward
God. They were fed and clothed. Above all, they were loved.

One of the biggest blessings we received was when some of the children
from the shelter performed dances set to praise music for the team. In
a year when there were times we questioned whether the ministry could
even survive, we saw the fruit of Una Esperanza, and that it is
beginning to grow in depth as well as numbers. To see our little ones
praising God in dance was beautiful. Several of our teenage girls also
prepared some songs and we were brought to tears by God's goodness,
knowing that three of these four teenagers had come to know Christ as
their Savior in the last two months.

We just want to say thank you to the many people who held us up in
prayer. We felt the angels all around us. We knew we were covered,
and we are truly appreciative. We are grateful for the people who
enabled us to pull off this event financially. It's always a very
costly event, but God always provides. We are so grateful for the
college students from Iowa State, New Mexico State and Hardin-Simmons
University that came and poured themselves out in service and in love,
for the families that made this their Christmas and demonstrated the
love of God to others in front of their own kids.
We prayed for Jesus
to be seen by all, and we believe He was. We know He showed up in each
of the team members that came to Juarez this year, and we believe His
presence will continue to change lives as a residual throughout the
year. On behalf of our family and the children of Kingdom Flight, we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.
