“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
Blessings in the name of the Lord!
Celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus is our reason for joy and thankfulness for God’s greatest gift.
On this special occasion in Victoria we invited children and their parents to church for a gift-giving event. We offered gifts in order to relate to them in a fun, practical way; in order to develop relationships between the giver and those receiving the gifts. From the youngest to the oldest everyone enjoyed receiving the gifts, which created an atmosphere of happiness and well-being.
I had the opportunity of sharing a message from the Scripture about God’s gift that springs from His love for the world.
Over 90 parents and children who attended heard the Gospel and were challenged to receive Christ as their Savior. After the message we had a moment of prayer when they had the opportunity to show their desire for the Lord to come into their lives. Some did, but some were hesitant or even might have refused. It is God who knows the hearts. May He continue His work in those hearts who accepted His gift of salvation. May God continue to prepare the hearts of those not ready to respond to the Gospel heard at this event.
Prayer Requests:
• For all the children and parents who heard the Gospel
• For all the people of Victoria who have heard the Gospel over the years to be convicted by the Holy Spirit to put their faith in the Lord Jesus.
• For a year of peace and freedom of faith
May God give His abundant blessings upon each of you, and may your holidays be filled with joy.
