Spirit Changes Priorities

January 2007

Dear Friends & Partners,

Todd & Jamie's Family

Jim Bob Giving Christmas Stocking

Sterling Sharing Christmas Gifts

JESUS Film Presents the Gift of Love

Todd and Jamie felt God's nudging five years ago to stop spending so much money on their own children at Christmas and spend it on all the children in a very poor village in El Salvador. In fact, most of the 307 children live in homes with no running water, electricity or sewer!

Now every Christmas they deliver gifts along with friends to this village the weekend prior to Christmas. Each gift is carefully chosen by age for boys and girls and hand delivered to that individual when their named is called—most likely, it's the only Christmas present they'll receive.

My son Sterling and I assisted Todd this year again in the delivery of the stockings along with Jim Bob and his son Joshua. We flew the gifts, ten full suit cases, to El Salvador—what a joy and privilege it was to see the eyes of the children as they each received their stockings.

Just as Todd and Jamie give a gift of love, your gift for hundreds if not thousands of lost people around the world makes all the difference in their receiving the chance for the gift of eternal life. Both go hand in hand—when we show love of any type to those who have sometimes never experienced the love of God, it can make all the difference for their salvation.

I pray that God will continue to convict us and that we as His people will listen and hear the sweet Holy Spirit as He leads and directs us in loving others.

You may not have the opportunity to go pass out Christmas gifts in El Salvador, but you can be an incredible blessing by giving more people the opportunity to see the JESUS Film.

May 2007 be the best and most powerful year of your life in your spiritual growth and love for others.

Blessings,

    Chuck
