As part of our Celebration, we focused on bringing the spirit of Christmas – God’s Love – to as many as possible. We put up an invite sign on our gate and served a special three course meal – complete with dessert – to anyone who came in. (Special mention to those who donated the pasta, potato, and fruit salads, as well as the friends who got up early to cook and then deliver a massive pot of rice and chicken! And of course the ladies here at the mission who cooked and prepared a whole lot of meals) And all the food was gladly received! One young man said as he sat devouring the main course “you know, I’ve been hungry all day. I’ve been looking in all the bins for something to eat. I think God guided me here to your gate.” With tears in our eyes, we wholeheartedly agreed.

Another team packed many trays of food into a car, and drove around the neighborhood, serving food to those in need. The reactions were so beautiful! We are so grateful to have been on the ground, spreading Christmas Love to these dear ones.
We also took a meal to the local police station; a small way to thank these community servants for all they do throughout the year. What a Merry Christmas Day!
