MAKE ONE OF THESE SMILE AND SAY THANK YOU.
Most of the families we minister to understand the true meaning of Christmas.
Sure there are some gifts exchanged and food brought by with warm wishes for the day, but that is not the big part of Christmas in the villages we work in.
Christmas eve is a day celebrated more that Christmas day. Our Church will be filled with honest prayer and worshipers, from early in the afternoon of the 24th until about 8 or 9 PM. Then the visiting begins until midnight when the sky lights up with fire works all over the Country. Christ was borne on that day and it is so wonderful to see how communities who do not have much, share their joy and blessings.
When they say Merry Christmas they truly believe it in their hearts.
HFTCM is honored to serve so many children. We no longer have Christmas parties for 3 or 5 thousand children but we do make a special event at Christmas time to share a toy and some candies to as many children as will come.
Many of you in past years have funded this event and I ask you to pray about supporting this act of love again this year. It will bring a smile and a thank you.
However they all understand that the greatest gift to all of them is Jesus Christ.
Thak you again for your love, prayers and support.
