Global Family Outreach Ministry Monthly Newsletter, July 2015

Merry Christmas !

Well, not yet anyway. It is time though that the Lord uses the largest celebrated holiday in the Philippines to bring glory to Him.

Every year, we provide the children and sometimes also our all GFOM volunteer staff in the Philippines with a Christmas gift to show them that Jesus does care about them despite being poor. It’s never enough to preach the Salvation Message of Jesus as Lord and Saviour without showing also that the Lord cares for them in a practical way. That is why we feed the poor children we serve weekly, and that is also why one time per year, we give away gifts of some kind on or around Christmas Day.

During the past ten months or so, Jorlyn and I have been busy asking local residents to donate good used clothing and other items to the Global Family Outreach Ministry Christmas giveaway in the Philippines. After an exhaustive time of searching and sometimes begging for items, by God’s grace, we have been successful enough to have the ability to ship two balikbayan boxes stuffed with these donated times.

Each box will cost $120.(usd) each to ship. This includes the cost of packing, securing and transporting each box to Aklan, Province where the GFOM Poor Children’s Feeding Program is located. Over the years, I have become an expert one might say, regarding the efficiency of packing a balikbayan box. Believe me when I tell you, there is not even an 1/8th of an inch of room left in a balikbayan box when I am finished packing. 🙂

Because the boxes are put inside large shipping containers aboard, it takes time to reach the middle of the Philippines all the way from the USA, so stuffing and getting the two boxes with gifts to a drop off site must be completed by August 31st, 2015 to ensure that all the items will arrive by December 24th, 2015.

Please help this Christmas Holiday be a light for Jesus Christ by helping us get the two boxes shipped. Thank you and God bless those of you who have been, and continue to be a co-laborer in Chirst by seeing the children we serve, come to Christ through a practical means. There is much work yet to be done in God’ Kingdom. God Bless you.
