It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you…yes, it is Christmas every time you smile at your brother and offer him your hand. –Mother Teresa
Dearest Partners,
As we wrap up an unprecedented year, it was so wonderful to wrap it up with a beautiful Christmas party with everyone together in Kenya! When so much has felt out of our control this year, to realize that we have the power to help our brothers and sisters across the globe is unreal. We have the power to change lives and use our gifts and talents and our time and treasures without ever leaving the comforts and safety of our homes! What a blessing!
Just a few of the year-end blessings are as follows:
· Every child in our sponsorship program received a new outfit for Christmas!
· Every child in our sponsorship program and their guardian families received a DOUBLE portion of monthly food provision!
· Everyone associated with our Give Amore programs (staff, sewing students, computer training students, children, guardians, well workers and more) was able to enjoy a rare buffet meal with their fill of rare treats-chicken and chapati to name a few!
· Clean water well #25 just hit water and will be ready to bless another community very soon!
· Clean water well #26 is funded for the New Year!
· Our Made with Amore sewing program is fully funded through April 2021 despite not having any tote bags to sell!
· And so much more!
When we reflect on all the ways God has provided, especially during an extremely challenging season, it astounds me. It strengthens my faith and should strengthen yours! We’ve all just been obedient to His calling on our hearts and He works it all out. When so much feels out of control, He reminds us He’s still in control!
What an absolute privilege it is for me to head into 2021 strengthened in my faith, strengthened in my resolve to continue being obedient to God’s calling for me to lead Give Amore and His mission to use us to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Thank you for joining us and supporting this monumental effort. Together we really are giving hope, giving joy and giving love!
And the angel said unto them, “Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. –Luke 2:10-11
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Give Amore Team!
