The Love of Jesus Displayed

Our love for others is our grateful response

to the love God first demonstrated to us. 1 John 4:19 TPT

Our time in overseas has flown by and has been very fruitful. Working alongside our ministry partners has been a great joy.   In addition to regular meetings, there were special outreaches during December.

Eye Clinic

Eye clinics here are not at all clinical!  With numerous people participating in multiple conversations, carried out in five languages, the cozy space we were set up in sounded like a large family gathering.  Which – to be honest it really was.   Eye exams were conducted, glasses were distributed, neighbors visited with each other, and good news was shared.  

What a joy-filled day it was.  By our best count 80 people had their eyes checked, 60 pair of glasses were gratefully received. Regardless of their ethnic background, religion, age, or vision problems - all were prayed for and touched by His love.

Tea Garden Village

The local team of volunteers has an ongoing weekly outreach to the Tea Garden Village.  Strong relationships have developed over the years as they help the children with schoolwork,  provide basic medical care and assist with other basic needs throughout the year. 

Haircuts -  Armed with plastic salon capes, hair clippers, scissors, combs, ready smiles and generous hearts – a team of eight hair stylists from a local salon descended on the village and provided free haircuts to over 20 children. 

 

Christmas Celebration – Children and their families enjoyed an evening of singing, teaching about the reason for Christmas, gifts for the children (a warm jacket aka a hoodie and matching sweatpants) and snack boxes for everyone there.  The very rustic village setting really made that ‘first’ Christmas come alive.

Thank you for being a part of showing love to “the Least of These” (Matthew. 25:32-40) We believe it brings a smile to our Lord’s face as we share His love in a tangible way – especially as we celebrate His birth and share the real reason for Christmas.
