JOYOUS CHRISTMAS

Prayer Request

Our prayer is that God would reward every one of you abundantly for your selfless generosity and the positive difference it has made in the lives of an uncountable number of people throughout the 2022 Christmas season.

Background

We thank God for everyone who prayed for us and contributed to the Christmas food drive and relief effort. We rejoice for the persons who surrendered their lives to Christ during our outreach.

It was a great honor to provide relief food to thousands of people in the MCF Ndalani community just before Christmas. In hopes of obtaining something to eat for Christmas, families from many miles away, waited in queues to receive relief food. Inmates at Yatta prisons were beaming with gratitude when we brought them food and hygiene supplies. When it came time for the prisoners to give their vote of thanks, several of them were moved to tears because they had just accepted Christ as the Lord of their life.

In the Yatta sub-county, MCF collaborates with the police and other security agencies. Officers in the hundreds were each given a Christmas food package to share with their families. All you needed to see were the glowing grins on their faces. To cap it all off on Christmas Eve, we were joined by village children for a special Christmas lunch. The children from the village had a wonderful time interacting with one another and being served by our MCF Ndalani children.

1 Corinthians 15:58 (AMPC)

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose].

Colossians 3:24-25 (AMPC)

Knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [and not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [real] reward. [The One Whom] you are actually serving [is] the Lord Christ (the Messiah). [25] For he who deals wrongfully will [reap the fruit of his folly and] be punished for his wrongdoing. And [with God] there is no partiality [no matter what a person’s position may be, whether he is the slave or the master].
