God provides everything needed: the willing hearts to serve, the prayer warriors that keep us covered and in His will, as well as, the generous hearts of those who donate. We had candy donated by Vons, food was donated by local Trader Joes and Panera Breads, and toys were from Toys for Tots and The 401K Club Hot Rod Shop toy drive.

Pastor Randy
was blessed to share the Christmas Story from the second chapter of the gospel of Luke with 250+ men, women and
children. Said Randy “we do what the bible calls us to do, we go out and
proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We simply celebrate the true reason for
the season, Jesus' birthday."
Ever year More
of Jesus Ministries passes out birthday cards for Jesus. What is unique about
these cards is that they challenge people to give their lives back to Jesus
in 5 ways:
1) Acknowledge to their family and
friends that they made Jesus their Lord and Savior.

2) Put Jesus first in their lives.
3) Pray to Jesus every day.
4) Read the bible to get to know
Jesus and his will.
5) Tell their family and friends who
Jesus is and how Jesus wants to love them.
As we always
do, we want to thank our donors for their support. Also a big thank you to the
volunteers! As there is no better way to experience the true meaning of
Christmas than to give to those in need. Hebrews 13:16 'And do not forget to do
good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased’.
Summing up the outreach, Pastor Randy said “what
better way to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ then to give of our
time, talent and resources. The toys, clothing, and food provide the
opportunity to love on people and share with them the gospel. We hope to
encourage everyone we meet to read the Bible and come to the knowledge of
Jesus' love for them."
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33
Thank you for you faithfulness all these years in service and teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.
