As a family, we make it a point to look beyond our own wants/need each Christmas season. We look for a way to give Jesus a birthday present that has nothing to do with meeting our own desires but everything to do with blessing others.
One year we gave a gift of money to some missionary friends. Another year we collected our loose change and gave it to the local homeless shelter.
This year, we’ve decided to buy some farm animals to give Jesus for His birthday. {Matthew 25.35-36}
The farm animals that we are buying are going to be given to a family in a third-world country through the ministry of World Vision.
World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.
Jenny & David are excited to “go shopping” in the World Vision catalog to pick out some animals to buy for a family who needs our help. They have been looking through the catalog for a few weeks, and today we are going to count up the money in their piggy banks to determine how much they are able to give to Jesus for His birthday.
