Christmas is always a reason to be joyful to those who experienced Jesus, and a reason to share the good news with people who live next to us. I’m in charge of the Mercy Ministry in our church. We as a team care about people, who are in need. We take care of widows, disabled people, and children at risk.
In December we had the opportunity to give out 500 gifts, and we also told them the Good News. We visited four orphanages, held Christmas concerts there and organized festival food table for A miracle happened to the children in the oncology department. Due to quarantine, we could not get into the department for 8 months, but on Christmas the department manager allowed us to do the covid test, and we able to get to the children for 3 hours. The children and their parents did not want to let us go. We gave gifts to the children and told them about Christ.
We were also in the hospice, there were a few children capable of talking and so we mostly talked with health workers. We were very happy for the opportunity to give to people, who do not know Christ, a real Christmas. For them, it was an unforgettable experience of meeting Him. Jesus says what you do to these little ones, that you have done to me.
