Christmas Gifts For Everyone!

Ok, so TEAR do it, Compassion do it, Amnesty do it, Oxfam do it (probably the best campain in my opinion).

BUT - Now our own Churches of Christ, Global Mission Partners are doing it.

The Christmas gift catalogue for the poor.

COCOA Great Gifts catalogue
Most of us have everything we need. But there are plenty of people in the world who don’t. If you are agonising over gift choice this year, COCOA (Churches of Christ Overseas Aid) can make it easy for you with a whole catalogue of Great Gifts. Gifts such as these share with others our abundance and God’s love and compassion. To make someone else feel great, check out these Great Gifts. “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40 TNIV)

It really is a good idea, many of you already do it for friends and extended family every year.

GMP actually have a temporary website up for the next few weeks, but if you can handle the not so functioning site before we launch our sweet new one, you can buy some gifts for people this year that will keep on giving…think - GOAT (milk for a long long time), think - Well (water for a community that keeps on running!) And many many more gifts to choose from. GO ON YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO :)

Kids Learn Love

Folks, you need to see this example of the love of Christ at work in our city.
Imagine what these kids in the photos are learning about the love of God especially after the murder that took place right in their street just a few week previous!

Seriously, if you are wanting someone to come and share with your family, your church, your small group, your youth ministry, your elderly congregation, your play group mums, your craft group, you left wing anti-nuclear group, your right wing people for high morals group, your men's wood working group, ladies bible study group...your whatever group - Jarrod McKenna will bless you and challenge you to think more deeply about living out the message of Christ in 'real life' tangible ways.
email me [Scott Vawser] for Jarrod's contact details.
