Moz Mission – I AM, IMMANUEL
I have become so fascinated by learning more about the Names of God so, when I began thinking about this year's Christmas bags for the children of Moz Mission, my thoughts went far back when we first started this special project through SA Cares for Life. The idea was simple, but powerful: to pack a special box for every child registered in our projects and, through that gift, to share a personal message of love, hope and value with each one. Through the years, we have packed thousands of boxes.
And now... it is that time of the year again to whisper to a vulnerable child: “I see you. I care. You are loved.”
For our children in Mozambique, a sling backpack is more practical than a normal cart box
as a backpack that can become a school bag, a sports bag, or be used to gathering roots for the family's meal that evening. The children love the backpacks and it is used throughout the year, so the words printed on them are just as important as what we place inside them.
This year, because of where I find myself in my own spiritual journey, I felt led to use the answer God gave Moses in Exodus 3 when he asked what must he tell the people who send him and God said: “tell them I AM What I Am is Who send you.”
The colour for this year’s bags will be orange with these words: I AM - Immanuel. I AM will be the message to share when giving out the bags introducing the children to the many beautiful things God is through His Names. He is the God who loves, cares, protects, heals., provides, sees and who is always present.
But I also want them to begin discovering who they are. How God sees them. That they are loved. That they are chosen. That they have purpose. And that they have a future.
Our first priority is financial support, as we need to order and pay for the branded backpacks before we can begin. From all over the world you can donate financially to the Moz Mission through Kings Ransom Foundation by clicking this link:

We already started to purchase items in bulk according to the ages and needs of the children and would appreciate any donation of stationaries, toiletries or sweet treats from you as well. The personal and in-kind donations are what make each backpack uniquely special. A handwritten letter. A handmade doll. A lovingly knitted or sewn item. A small toy. A beautiful book. Something that smells good. A soft toy to hold onto. Every little gift tells a story that says: Someone thought about you. Someone prepared something especially for you. You are loved. You are cared for. You are chosen. You are worthy.
So, will you please help us pack these bags but most importantly please pray…
Pray that this message will not only reach the hearts of the children and families in Mozambique, but that it will also nestle deeply into our own hearts.
Maybe you are in a challenging life circumstance right now and my prayer is for you because whatever you need God to be…
HE is the I AM, your IMMANUEL.
