Dear God . . . Why doesn't it ever snow here at Christmas time?
Miguel, in Bethlehem where Jesus was born it was warm just like it is in Ecuador — and no snow! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. In Ecuador where Miguel lives, there are pageants and festivals, and churches filled with families honoring the Christ child with gifts and food for the less fortunate in villages and towns. And this year children and their parents all over the U.S. have filled shoeboxes with toys, stuffed animals, books, crayons — and a Gospel message that will be transported by Samaritan's Purse to Ecuador, Peru, Africa — children giving to children. Get your child involved — decorating a Christmas tree at a shelter, donating toys, or taking cookies to an elderly couple in your church! This is Wess Stafford. Make this a special season with the children in your world!
