OUR WORLD CHRISTMAS PARTIES FOR THE POOR
From: http://www.worldchristians.org/main/latest.htm
==============================================
"This year we are holding three parties. The first is in India, where
our friend and colleague Pastor D. who is holding the Party in a colony of
abandoned lepers, men, women and children. " There will be 375 people
and we taking food and clothes. There will a worship team coming with us to
sing and lead the worship. I will deliver the message and pray for the sick.
I am taking 10 Bible students with me to taste it. When we went to see their
situation we saw that most of them had lost their body parts and were too
pathetic to see. The smell of human flesh made us vomit and we could not stay
longer."
The next party is in Chaing Mai, Thailand where our friend G.L. will be celebrating the coming of Jesus with 200 or more people in a Shan slum. The Shan are a very neglected, unwanted minority tribe. G. is also going in to the local children's cancer ward where little ones and their parents spend months hoping for the best. Our friend G.P. in the war zone of north Uganda will be bringing at lest 300 orphans, widows, AIDS and war victims, blind, disabled and paralyzed people together to hear the meaning of Christmas, to give them hope, a good meal, music and celebration with the offer of long term care from the local churches.
As a family we choose to celebrate with the poor instead
of spending our money on parties and presents at home, especially at this
time of year when people in the West spend millions of pounds on unwanted
gifts and fill their diaries with every kind of party. Let Jesus be the reason
for the season and Christmas be an opportunity to put Isaiah 58,5-9 into action.
Why not do the same for the poor people where you live or Sponsor A Party
with us in the developing world ?
Les and Pilar, the editors."
