It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas ??!!!
We are sitting at the door of November, the air has a chill in it, and thoughts of giving thanks for our fall harvests and bountiful blessings are overshadowing the long, hot, weary summer. The next big group of projects for this ministry will be the very busy task of helping hundreds of children and their family for the Christmas season. The season actually begins with Thanksgiving and ends with Christmas morning festivities and celebration.
Of course, the biggest thing for us is the big birthday bash that we throw for Jesus. We invite hundreds of this areas “children in-need” and throw a huge Happy Birthday, Jesus, Festival ! These pre-qualified, screened, specially invited children and their family are honored at the festival and given toys, Bibles, food, entertainment, photos, and furniture (ex. sometimes, when children are giving us their Christmas wishes, they ask for things like a bed or a new mattress or a study desk). For these children, the festival is the absolute high point of their holiday season. For us, it is an awesome opportunity to , not only tell folks about Jesus’ love, but also to show them the love of Jesus in our works and actions.
I have a photo show from last year for the Happy Birthday, Jesus, Party and the Christmas Morning Family Christmas we do for the Wingard Home residents. Please pray as you watch and ask that God reveal to you how you can be a part of the Holidays at Wingard Home for 2008.
