Our Women of Missions and other ladies from our church made more than 800 Christmas stockings.

The stockings contained toys, candy, school supplies, the story of Jesus and/or a New Testament. Many were handed out in services at our missions in Mexico – by our own children. Others were distributed to other locations as far away as central Mexico and South America. Here, you can see some of the children in Reynosa holding their Christmas gifts. For many, this will be the only present they receive for the holidays.

We always use the opportunity to share the story of Christmas with the parents as well as the children. Our Pastor Guillermo Lopez is shown ministering to some of the people of Reynosa, Mexico whose children have just received our gifts.

After the services, Pastor Lopez and his wife shared a meal with the people we helped. In the background, some of our children and their parents are becoming better acquainted with their new friends.

How you can help
	We always need help preparing the Christmas stockings because we can always give away far more than we can prepare. We can also use more children to help distribute the gifts. If you would like to assist in either of these endeavors, or if your church would like to help hand out the stockings and present the story of Christmas, you can contact us here.
