A simple way to give the gift of hope this Christmas.
/
With planning for holiday services and events well underway, anticipation in church communities is building. As we approach Christmas, churches everywhere are gearing up to celebrate the greatest gift of all—the incarnation of Jesus Christ.
The Advent season reminds us that God’s heart is not far from humanity. God chose to enter a world covered in darkness and filled with brokenness, bringing light and healing.
His gift to us was a gift of hope, a hope that cannot be overcome.
“In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
John 1:4-5
Perhaps your church family is looking for ways to live out the Christmas story and bring the hope that it offers to those who need it most. With one billion children across the globe experiencing multi-dimensional poverty, the Church—and by extension, local churches like yours—has the opportunity to respond to those needs and give children and their families hope this Christmas.
Gifts of Compassion are a simple yet powerful way for your church to move with compassion and extend a heart of generosity to those living in poverty around the globe. Each gift in this gift guide meets the practical needs of children and their families, providing them with the resources needed to break free from cycles of poverty and live into their God-given potential in all areas—mind, body and soul.
We’d love to partner with your church this Christmas to give the gift of hope. If you have any questions or need any support, don’t hesitate to reply to this email.
