The past few weeks have slipped away so quickly. December is our busiest month of the year. With Christmas concerts and Carol services in all churches, widows meetings, our children’s party, the list goes on and on.
We started early in the month of December with our Christmas concerts this year a total of five programs. It is always great to see what the children have done each year. It is also an amazing way to reach out to the community. So many of the village people come to see the concerts and at the same time hear the “Good News”.
Every year we hold our widows party. This year was another success, so many widows were blessed with a sari and some extra Christmas money. Before lunch we decided to play some games. This was so much fun for the ladies. In the end I must confess I am not sure who had more fun the ladies or the spectators. The gifts made the winners happy for sure.
On the 23 of December we had our annual Children’s party. This is my favorite day of the year. To spend the day with the children playing and giving them there Christmas gifts brings an indescribable joy to our hearts.We want to thank everyone who made a donation to the Christmas party. Because of your gifts we were able to give the children new clothes, a nice gift, bath towels for each child.
We ended December with a trip to the zoo. All of the children made the trip. It was great fun and a lot of walking.
Thanks to ERDO in December we were able to help many families that were affected from typhoon Nisha. We passed out bags of rice, kerosene, cots and pillows. Many people have lost there homes and all of there belongings. We count it a blessing to help these people in need.
As we begin the New Year please keep India and our family in your prayers.
Blessings,
