A Harvest of Souls!

Christmas is always a busy time of the year. With all the festivities, it is easy for us to get side tracked from the true meaning of the celebration. How needful that boys and girls hear the true message of Christmas "…making the best use of the time, because the days are evil…". (Ephesians 5:16)

Here were opportunities God gave us to minister to children during the Christmas season:

Dec 2- 4 : Street Children Camp 2008

Dec 13 : Christmas Party Club for Good News Clubbers

Praise God for 118 children from different Good News Clubs® who attended the Christmas Party at the CEF Center; with 25 of them professing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank God for our friends from the Christ Commission Fellowship (CCF) who sponsored the giveaways of groceries and door prizes.

Dec 16-20 : Christmas Classes
In cooperation with some of our local areas, the national office staff conducted 273 Christmas Clubs where 9,022 children heard the Gospel and 7,087 prayed to receive the Lord Jesus as Savior. Praise the Lord for co-workers who worked hard allowing us to exceed our target of 250 Christmas clubs; and for His abundant resources which was beyond what we expected.

Dec 19 : East Gate Baptist Church Pre-School Christmas Party
In a Christmas Party of EGBC (a preschool), both children and their parents heard the message of salvation through the (please state what activity you had, Mae). What joy to note that 90% of them accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior.

Dec 22-23 : Christmas Clubs for Street Children in Tropical, Cainta and Concepcion, Marikina
Through our Christmas Clubs in Tropical, Cainta and in Concepcion, Marikina, we were able to reach out to beggars, vendors and street children -- 54 of them. Praise God for 42 who prayed the sinner’s prayer. They had the joy to receive toys and clothing courtesy of one of our partners, the Jubilee Christian Academy. Thank you so much for making the time extra special for the kids.


Dec 26-30 : Post Christmas Classes in La Union
After Christmas, our coordinator in La Union invited me to help in conducting Christmas Clubs in the area. The Lord be praised for children who heard the gospel. In due time, the seeds planted will bear fruit in the lives of the children.

Thank you for your support in prayers and gifts -- December was truly a harvest of souls for us. “Not that I seek the gift but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit." (Phil 4:17)

May you be blessed with increasing joy and God’s rich provisions for the new year.

Serving Him with you,
