What do you get someone who already has everything? (besides food—you can’t go wrong with food) It has been a difficult financial year, and many people are working hard just for the basics. But for most of us, we don’t give Christmas presents because the person needs it—we give because we are filled with the desire to share all the good things we have been given--to show the person that we value them, that we see how special they are, and celebrate it.
Living Stones is working with the poorest children in Brazil, giving them food and opportunities for a better life--most of all, in knowing Jesus Christ. So many people gave to the $5 for 5 campaign, giving $5 to give five children a hot meal. Because of that, the program has been able to finish the year out strong with food for everyone.
But Christmas is about more...Life more abundantly. About the extravagant, overabundance of a God who not only made us, but called us back to Himself after we left. Who came to earth, limiting everything about Himself. This Christmas, let us celebrate Him by celebrating these special children.
The $10 for Them campaign (www.wribrazil.com/10forthem) is donating $10 to buy a Christmas present for an impoverished child in Northeast Brazil. On the webpage, you can click and print out a certificate to give to a loved one, letting them know that for their Christmas present--they gave a Christmas present to a child who otherwise would not have received one.
