What a blessing to everyone who gave towards the orphans we support and the 20 persecuted believers this Christmas. We were able to send $1,500 dollars towards food, personal care items and other essentials they needed. With your help and support and through your love, kindness and generosity they were able to celebrate Christmas. May the Lord shine His face upon each of you today and in all of 2025.
