Photo of the Day
Christmas. What a wonderful time to show your love for Jesus by giving to little children who have nothing. The little boy in this photo is holding tightly to the only gift he received for Christmas. With that gift, he was also given food and told about the love Jesus has for him. Without the help of our Partners, Sponsors and Friends, he would have received nothing. It is very possible that he would not even have had anything to eat all day. Instead he received a special gift just for him and a good meal.
We often see tears and sometimes the children 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.
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.
