September 5, 2019 - Christmas is on our minds as we plan and prepare for all that needs to get done. One of the ministries that take a great deal of planning is our Virtual Christmas Gift Box program. This is where we work with our churches to help them connect with the poor and needy in their communities by providing a gift for the kids as well as food for the families.
Here is a video that explains how we do what we do.
We would like to have the funds by early to mid- November (at the latest) to help us plan and purchase the gifts - We are looking to serve 1000 - 1200 children this year with our new church plants. We usually spend between $10-$12 per child so that means we are needing about $10,000-$12,000 for this coming Christmas Season.
