Christmas Gift Challenge Response

Thank you so much to everyone who prayed for and gave towards the SEAPC Raising Kids Christmas Gift Challenge! It was a wonderful success.

For those of you who may not have known, we have very generous friends who sponsor orphaned, abandoned, and at-risk children who live in partnership ministries in various countries. These sponsors very generously give each year to provide Christmas gifts for their sponsored children. However, there are always children/young people who are in need of sponsors and there are always sponsors who, although they may greatly desire to do so, cannot afford to send extra money for a gift. The ministries caring for these children always provide something for these children, but we wanted to give them an extra blessing.

When I reminded sponsors about the deadline for Christmas gift funds to arrive, one very generous sponsor family asked how many unsponsored children there were. They then put forward a challenge that if we were able to raise up to $2,650 they would match it. This began the Christmas Gift Challenge.

Once again, you have risen to the challenge. Between the donations and the matching gift, $5,005 was raised to provide better Christmas gifts for children who are not sponsored. Thank you for bringing great joy to many children who may have never even received a Christmas gift in the past because they are new to the children’s homes.

Thank you for showing the love of Jesus to them!
