If there's one word
to describe our last Christmas time,
that word is:
GRACE
(AND THE WHOLE YEAR OF 2019 WAS AMAZING!!!)
|
God answered our prayers that
we called for His help during each
LOVE’s
devotion time in the morning.
In Christmas 2019, He indeed helped
L.O.V.E
to bring many blessed gifts and extra helps to many people.
Please see below
and let's give praise to our Lord:

STUDENT HOUSES – OUR VISION for GOD’s KINGDOM - FUTURE of
GOD's CHURCH
In
December, known as the month of Christmas,
L.O.V.E
decided to give Christmas trees as Christmas gifts and a
little extra money for a Christmas meal to our 10 student
homes. Several of our student houses invited unbelieving
students from their colleges and universities to their
houses where they celebrated the real meaning of Christmas,
the birth of Christ, and introduced Him to their friends and
then treat them to a special Christmas meal cooked by their
hands. Some of LOVE's staff also attended the nights.
L.O.V.E
and the sponsor funds paid the expenses, the students and
Jesus did the rest.
