Nowhere in the world do they love to
celebrate like the Philippines. Our HELP
staff only proves the rule. Our annual
mission Christmas Party is a must and
has been the instrument for extra blessing
for our hard-working staff. The mission
would be at a total loss without them. Some
of our staff have been with us for 20 years
and a great many for 10 or more.
Deborah has outdone herself gathering
gifts that will make
Christmas special.
Chief among them are
Christmas trees
for each one. She
learned awhile ago that
none of our people had
their own Christmas
trees. She swung into
action and raised the money to buy little
trees for all 32 staff. A Sunday School in
Australia provided the decorations for each tree.
Games and food are fundamental to a
good party. There was no shortage of
either.Finally, through another generous donor,
each staff member took home a basket of
food so their Noche Buena Christmas Eve
meals will be full and merry.
This party is an important part of life
at HELP. We celebrate the gift of one
another, the gift of being able to do
the work each of us does , and finally,
the gift of Jesus Christ to bring
redemption to a broken world.
