While we celebrate Christmas, millions living in the 10/40 window nations, have never even heard the name of Jesus. In hostile countries where we minister, preaching in public is generally forbidden. However, Christmas season is the only time of the year when the authorities often turn a blind eye. Salvation of souls are the best birthday gift for Jesus!

Goats are a great way to show God's love to families in need. These animals provide meat and milk and can be sold for a good price. Extra income means there is more money to buy food or send children to school.

Most impoverished homes have little to no heating or insulation. Those who sleep on the street are even more exposed to the cold. A large blanket can cover an entire family and becomes a tangible expression of Christ’s love!

Every day, millions of children—orphans or runaways are forced to fend for themselves. Alone and vulnerable, they face great physical and emotional distress. The Body of Christ can offer hope and support. By standing up for these “little ones,” you provide them with food, safety, clothing, care, and above all, God’s love.

These wells provide drinking water year-round. They protect against dehydration and help prevent waterborne diseases. Likewise, pastors living or serving near a Life Well can share about Jesus, the Living Water. Providing clean water, whether by drilling a new well or maintaining existing wells, is a practical way to show others how much God loves them.

When we help the poor, needy, and persecuted, we can help change someone's life. Thank you for making a difference this Christmas!
