I agree it is hard to rejoice when you are in pain, have no hope or it is difficult to live. When you have to wait for several months to get results from a specific puncture and it happens to be positive again. With your help, we were able to bring children in several hospitals a part of Christmas to their sickbed. This holiday is a shimmer of hope for them. God has come to us. He cares about us, it’s an occasion to celebrate. The smiles on the faces of children and parents were the best reward for this. We were able to share the Gospel and the story of the birth of our savior with around sixty children and sixty parents.
In our house of prayer, we had over 300 children gathered on Christmas. One-third of them were invited through social engagement. These are children that come from large and low-income families. Most were the first time in our church and even heard the first time about Christmas. Together with their parents, they learned what this holiday means. None of the children were left empty-handed but all received a gift.
Thank you for your participation in this Christmas ministry for our children.
