Yes, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas … but, as you know, Christmas looks a little different in the Deep South.
The people we serve live in such desperate poverty that it takes an extra effort to celebrate the spirit of the holidays, especially for our children.
That’s why the Missions’ Annual Christmas Party is the highlight of the season for so many of our neighbors. Last year more than 2,000 parents and kids came to meet Santa, have lunch, and receive a present.
The Christmas Party is one way we keep God’s love in the hearts of people in need. But at this time of year, more people also turn to us with urgent needs for food, shelter, and other emergencies.
I’m asking you to consider a special Christmas gift to make sure we can be there for every neighbor who needs us.
We can’t turn away anyone who needs our help, so your gift is vital, especially now. Please send a special gift today Thank you, God bless you, and Merry Christmas!
