Christmas Eve Giving

This Christmas season we raised some money to give away to some great causes. We gave $500 to help a family in Langley who have a daughter who is undergoing treatment for cancer. They were very touched and grateful.

We gave $500 to International China Concern. They sent us this great email and I wanted to share it-


Thank you so much for your church's kind gift of $500 towards International China Concern.

Psalm 27 v10 says ‘Even if my father and mother should desert me, you will take care of me. ‘

Attitudes to disability in China vary greatly. Recently one of our children was travelling to Changsha for cleft palette surgery and he was met with disgust by a member of the public. His International China Concern caregiver burst into tears on hearing the insult spoken to ‘her little one’. She told us how she had cared for him since he arrived at the centre several months earlier. She proudly explained how she had prepared him for surgery and reassured him that he was a very clever boy who would turn out to be a handsome young man. We are seeing more and more Chinese employees being raised up with a heart of love for the children and a genuine concern for their wellbeing.

The compassion of God moves Him to act on our behalf. I believe that He holds and loves these children, speaks words of encouragement and affirmation over them through the hands, heart and words of those He sends.

Thank you for supporting ICC. Please pray that all of our international volunteers and Chinese employees will be the hands, feet and messengers of God’s love and grace.

Our prayer is that you will recognise His touch, hear His voice and know His care in and through those He sends to you in your daily routine today.

God Bless,
