ENJOY A FREE CHRISTMAS CONCERT
ON SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8TH @ 3:00 P.M.
AT THE BOERNE CIVIC CENTER
Kick off the Christmas season by attending a wonderful concert for the whole family!
There will be something for everyone. While half of the concert will feature traditional Christmas music, you will hear a diversity of other styles of music as well.
Enjoy the western music of The English Brothers -- made up of three brothers, the worship music of The Antunes -- a husband/wife duo, and the folk music of the 4 Proches -- comprising 4 young siblings aged 20 to 10.
All three groups are quite talented, local, and love the Lord.
You can get a taste of their music in the 3 videos below.
 | | The English Brothers |
 | | The Antunes -- God Is A Fire |
 | The 4 Proches -- Wayfaring Stranger

You'll also get a chance to sponsor an orphaned or abandoned child in Kenya, Africa through Open Arms International.
Right now, they meet the physical, educational and spiritual needs of 106 orphans on 52 acres in Kenya.
While the narration begins at the 1:16-mark, the entire 6-minute video is worth your time to watch to understand their vision.
(If you turn off the HD -- High Definition -- on the right-hand bottom side of the video, it may improve download and playback speeds. After you click on the video below, simply click on "HD" on the far right bottom of the video screen in order to de-select it.)
 | Introduction to the great work of Open Arms International
|
Would you prayerfully consider becoming one of 25 subscribers to my newsletter who might sponsor an African orphan for just $36 per month?
For example, Open Arms International needs to find sponsors for these three children below: Collins, Purity and Titus.
Orphaned as a baby, 9-year-old Collins lived with a
relative in extremely adverse circumstances.
Collins
Now Collins has found a caring home and tender love with his house parents at Open Arms Village. He has already started to smile and trust his new family. When he grows up, Collins hopes to become a pilot. Meet Collins in the 59-second video below.  | |

Purity, now 9, was abandoned by her birth mother in a church, but was given a loving home by an elderly lady who tenderly cared for her as she would a daughter. When this kind woman later died, Purity was all alone with nowhere to go.
Purity
After intervention by the District Children's Office, Purity now makes her home at Open Arms Village where she is part of a large, loving family, does well in her studies, helps with household duties, and dreams of flying through the sky and becoming a pilot.
Meet Purity in the 43-second video below.

Titus, age 8, and his younger sister Sharon are orphans who came from tragic circumstances. Their father was murdered and their mother died from a stroke. Their grandma took them in, but she struggled with physical disabilities and was unable to continue.
Titus The siblings now have a hope for the future after being rescued by Open Arms through the aid of the District Children's Office. Titus enjoys playing with his new brothers in Ushindi "Victory" Home, watering the animals, and a game of soccer. He is a very responsible youngster, keeping his room neat and tidy without urging. He is also a great singer and dancer and is known for his constant smile. Could you be the sponsor that Titus needs? Meet Titus in the 38-second video below.  | |

You can meet the other 35 African children from Kenya who are available for sponsorship right now.
After you pick the child whom you would like to sponsor, download this sponsorship form, print it out, indicate the name of the child, and either enclose a check or fill-in your credit card information before you mail it in.
Even if you're unable to attend the concert, I hope you will prayerfully consider becoming one of 25 people who we need to find to sponsor an African orphan through Open Arms International.  Don't forget to mark your calendars to attend the free Christmas concert on Sunday, December 8 at 3:00 p.m. at the Boerne Civic Center where you can listen to spectacular local artists as you celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ this season.

My bride Amy, our 4-year-old son Honor, and our 2-year-old daughter Mercy cannot wait to see you as I will be emceeing the concert.
