Photo of the Day
The little boy in this photo is holding tightly to the only gift he received for Christmas. Without the help of our Partners, Sponsors and Friends, he would have received nothing. It was the first time in his life that he received a gift of any kind.
Most of the children God has given us in the Philippines have never received a Christmas present or even anything special to eat at Christmas. We often see tears and sometimes they ask, "Is this really for me?" Sometimes the smallest ones don't even know what to do with it, but it does not take much coaching to show them. What joy it is to see the excited eyes and hear the squeals of delight over just one gift that belongs only to them. The families are often blessed with bags of food to take home.
Your gifts make possible a lot of joy. Thank you for blessing the children. We hope it blesses you to know that you bring such joy to a child and a very poor family who never seem to have enough to eat..
To give to this fund for Christmas for the Children, go to Christmas for Children. Your donations for Christmas need to be received before Thanksgiving so we can get them to the pastors and they can purchase the gifts.
