A CHRISTMAS SNAPSHOT FROM KENYA

“My name is Stephen.

I am a farmer in the Rift Valley. God has blessed me with a wife, children and grandchildren. A few years ago we had no food and no money to buy food. I was desperate, but then we received food aid, seeds and training from our local church on conservation farming and water harvesting. I also started a nursery to plant trees on my land and sell seedlings to earn income. We have seen God doing miracles!�

Children and youth represent the hopes and dreams for the future of the world.

The grim reality however, is that millions of children and adolescents simply struggle to survive.

Education is a treasure that lasts a lifetime, yet it remains out of reach for so many. These CBM gifts open opportunities for learning and a better future.

A CHRISTMAS SNAPSHOT FROM THAILAND

aphy Lam Photogr Photo: Johnny

“My name is Joanne.

My mom and dad like to help people, especially kids in the village. But when my dad was young, his life was not always so good. He used and sold drugs, until one day he heard about Jesus, and his life changed.

He stopped taking drugs. Now, he goes to a school for pastors. He has a Canadian teacher there – CBM Field Staff Conrad Kwok. Through the school my dad is learning how to run his own church, orphanage, and school in the village.”

WHERE MOST NEEDED

When you give a gift to “where most needed�, your gift makes the greatest impact possible for people who need it most.

Where Most Needed International One of the areas of greatest need is the strengthening of our partners.

Strong partner churches mean a more effective response to the needs of local communities.

The season for giving is all year round One of the most powerfully simple ways to renew and transform life is to become a sustaining partner of CBM. Beyond this season of giving we need your regular monthly support.

Please consider becoming a sustaining partner and pledge your ongoing support today.

Sign up online at cbmin.org or see the enclosed order form for more information.

A CHRISTMAS SNAPSHOT FROM LEBANON

“My name is Isha and this is my sister Maurie.

Our home in Syria became scary and dangerous with bombs and bodies in our street. Our family had to escape with nothing.

We’ve been here for over a year now. It is hard to live in a new place, but I feel safer. The local church in our community helps us survive by providing food and medical care. I’ve come to know about Jesus and he gives me hope that I will be able to go home one day and go to school again.”
