Christmas Gifts
Today I delivered over 150 wrapped gifts to two orphanages here in Tartu. The gifts came from The Salvation Army in Sweden, and they give hundreds and hundreds of these gifts to the Army in Estonia each Christmas. The director of one of the homes told me that they were looking at their budget trying to determine what they would be able to provide for their children, and that this was an unexpected surprise. At both homes, they were overwhelmingly grateful. Although I was just a middle man, it was good to connect people in this way.
Tomorrow we will have a Christmas party for the kids in our youth programs, and we will also use these Swedish gifts for the kids here.
Once again, I am reminded that the faithfulness of others around the world--through material means such as the gifts, and more importantly through prayer support--is what keeps us moving onward.
