So many people are lonely, sad, or hungry at Christmas, and it is a time of year when such lacks are most keenly felt. So, as part of our Celebration, we focused on bringing the spirit of Christmas – God’s Love – to as many as possible. It was our gift to Jesus and others! We prepared a WHOLE LOT of chicken, gravy, rice, and desserts, to bring to those less fortunate. A long-term friend gave all kinds of lovely plates, containers, and cutlery for the food, while a company donated potato, pasta, and fruit salad, and some other friends brought over a dozen trays of delicious home-cooked food to add to the meals! The day before we even received a gift of brownies and muffins to make the desserts even more special! God bless everyone who had a part in this!
Some of us packed many trays of food and cooler boxes with drinks into vehicles, and drove around the neighborhood, giving out food, cool drinks, and Gospel tracts to those in need. The reactions were so beautiful; with many of the men and women hardly believing the whole stack of main course, salads, and pudding was for them! (answer to prayer, there was no mobbing or rough situations, but all was anointed and smooth)
We also took a meal to the local police station and fire station; a small way to thank these community servants for all they do throughout the year. We are so grateful to have been on the ground, spreading Christmas Love to these dear ones. What a Joyous Christmas Day as over 90 individuals received a delicious meal, a “Jesus Loves You”, and a Gospel message.
