Making a child in the Philippines happy this Christmas does not have to cost a lot. A simple toy, a new t-shirt or an ice cream cone will put a smile on a child's face. See below.

October 2, 2015. Your Father knows best how a family is to honor Him and each other. His instructions are simple but not easy to obey. Submission is a beautiful instrument to give and sustain love in a family. Why is it often so difficult to keep your own house in order? Love and submission properly practiced tears down walls and keeps peace alive and well. Love overcomes so as to become a pathway to family bliss.

Colossians 3:18-21 (NLT) "Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly. Children, always obey your parents, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not aggravate your children, or they will become discouraged."  Ras Robinson


October 2, 2015. Don't get caught in the swirling whirlpool. You are very close to the edge. Be careful. Take it slow and easy but do a turnaround and march away. You know what will happen if you don't turn. You have been there before, and will surely be swept downward. You know the way back upstream is hard going. Turn now and trust in Me step by step, moving carefully away from the edge.
 
Deuteronomy 31:8 (AMP) "It is the Lord Who goes before you; He will [march] with you; He will not fail you or let you go or forsake you; [let there be no cowardice or flinching, but] fear not, neither become broken [in spirit-depressed, dismayed, and unnerved with alarm]."  Bev Robinson


October 2, 2015. Rotten days. It seems like you experience them more frequent than not. They seem to pop up out of nowhere and can trigger all sorts of negative emotions which flood your heart and mind. Learn to rejoice in the midst of calamity. Turn on the news, if needed, to realize how good you have it. Be absorbed, captivated and engrossed by all the wonderful events which have happened to you before now. Think of Me.
 
Psalm 118:24 (NKJV) "This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it."  Kevin Robinson

Ministry to Children in the Philippines

Christmas parties for FCM sponsored children and their siblings always include food, usually a full meal. Most of the children prefer that over any gifts they might receive. At the party a child will also hear a Bible story, sing some fun songs and receive at least one gift. In most cases, it is the only gift they receive for Christmas. 

Making a child in the Philippines happy this Christmas does not have to cost a lot. A simple toy, a new t-shirt or an ice cream cone will put a smile on a child's face. Other popular gifts are mosquito nets, bath towels, light blankets and umbrellas. You Partners, Sponsors and Friends have given so generously in past years so the children and their families are blessed at Christmas. Your donation, large or small, will make Christmas special.
 
Send your donation online to Christmas for Children. Donations for Christmas need to be received before Thanksgiving so we can send the money the first week of December to the pastors who care for the children.
