Thank you for your prayers for Kathy and her brother Jonas in the Philippines, as they and others hear God together concerning care for widows and orphans. She will also be doing some preparation for the conference next February when a group of 5 of us will be going. She will be gone 2 weeks, returning November 24.
The donations you send for feeding the children help make sure there is good food in this boy's bowl. He lives at a garbage dumpsite and without help, there would be days when he has no food. Thank you on his behalf for the food you provide.
We want to be sure this little boy and hundreds more like him have something for Christmas. Many have sent donations already and we are so thankful. These gifts from Partners, Sponsors and Friends will make it possible to bless many very poor children and their families at Christmas. If you intend to help with Christmas, remember that we need your gifts before Thanksgiving so we can get the money to the pastors the first week of December.
Christmas can be just another day of hunger. We want to give a gift to every sponsored child as well as their siblings. For most of them, the gift you make possible will be the only gift they receive.
If funds are there, we will also provide extra food or a meal for each family. Some favorite gifts the children like are t-shirts, shampoo & bath soap, flip flops and bath towels and, of course, food. Some of the things many of us take for granted are very special for them. You can help put smiles on lots of faces. Go to Christmas for Children.
