Loving Them so They can Love Others

I had a Christmas party for the girls in my Masi Bible Study.


They were so excited. We had cookies, Coke-Cola, cupcakes, and a Zac Effron movie. (Yes, even teen age girls in Africa are obsessed with High School Musical stuff). We chatted about the real meaning of Christmas- that it was the day Jesus was born so that He could live and die to give us hopeless people Hope. I gave them their Christmas presents (a big bar of chocolate each) and a card letting them know how proud of each one of them I am. Then we helped the community out a little. We put together thankyou Christmas packages for the Police, Security, Clinics, Hospitals, etc that partner with The Baby Safe in our efforts to offer hope, life and options to the most vulnerable women and babies in our communities. The girls worked so hard, writing the thankyou notes, wrapping the cookies, and driving with me to hand deliver them all. They are starting to understand that it is because of Christ’s love for us, that we go out and love others.
