Christmas Angels

A special thank you to all of our Christmas Angels who sponsored a child in Pembroke, IL and for the children of battered women in New Jersey.

To our Angels: You helped make a special Christmas memory for a child. It's wonderful that our friends, family, and even people we do not know pulled together to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. The gifts make the memory but the act of giving makes the difference. You are all truly angels.

Story to Share: My student Natalie was so excited about all of the gifts she had purchased for the twin boys she selected. She showed the gifts to her grandmother who wisely commented, "God will smile on you, child." From the joy that radiates on Natalie's face, I can see that He already has.


Presents from the Goncalves Family. They sponsored an amazing 16 children! Their gifts included pro-size basketball hoops, sports equipment, dolls, clothing, and more.
