Who would think a toothbrush and tube of toothpaste would be a special Christmas gift for a child? Read the pastor's report below that touched our hearts. Thank you for giving a blessing. 

January 8, 2015. No fear or worry for you. Let no fear creep into your mind, will or emotions. Fear is a killer demon sent from hell itself and its master Satan. Flee from all worry. Worry has never accomplished anything but to drag you through the mire, ending up in a pit of worry. Take your stand against both fear and worry. They waste your time and energy. Look away from both and let your pinpoint focus be on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. Adore, admire and fix your gaze on Him. Never look back.

 

1 Peter 3:13-14 (NLT) "Now, who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don't worry or be afraid of their threats." Ras Robinson
  

January 8, 2015. There are angels all around you. You may not be able to see them but be aware of their presence. Sense them out of the corner of your eye as they whiz or amble by. Be aware of their ministry. They are there to help. You have spoken My Word and they are working on carrying it out. Continue speaking My Word and your faith will become stronger. Don't give in to unbelief, thinking nothing is happening because you can't see what is happening. Believe Me. Your needs are being met.

January 8, 2015. Straighten up and fly right! You're a child of the King and it's only appropriate for you to act, speak, and live accordingly. Your behavior is under scrutiny. Because of who and whose you are akin too, you are associated with a lifestyle of excellence. Without saying a word, people around you can be persuaded to examine themselves more carefully because of your chaste conduct. Examine yourselves thoroughly to see that you're living a spotless and blameless life. Do people around you believe in Me purely because of your life?

Who would think a toothbrush and tube of toothpaste would be a special gift for a child? This report below was sent by the pastor of some of the FCM sponsored children and youth pictured here expressing their thankfulness for a good Christmas. All the elementary school children received as part of their gift a new toothbrush and toothpaste. Read the response below that touched our hearts.

"We are happy to report to you that this is the happiest Christmas that our sponsored students have experienced. All of them said in unison that "CHRISTMAS WOULD NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU, FCM." Their families were very happy upon receiving their food for Noche Buena. Each family received litson manok (roasted chicken), spaghetti (a Filipino favorite), rice and some canned goods.

All the high school and college students received a towel and new underwear. They are all grateful for your LOVE. Our elementary sponsored students received candies, cookies, a toothbrush and toothpaste. Two of the children told us it is the first time they ever had a toothbrush of their own. The kids were all happy to have their Christmas Party at Jollibee-SM, a favorite location for kids of all ages. They enjoyed a special meal of chicken and spaghetti and other treats."

This was all made possible by gifts from Partners, Sponsors and Friends who gave so the children would have a special Christmas.
