Dear Friends ,
Joy to the world, the Lord is come, let earth receive her King. Praise the Lord for the wonderful season when we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior. It is a wonderful season of giving and receiving. It is also a wonderful season of proclamation that our Lord and Savior has come and that He will come again in victory and majesty.
Last summer, some of my family members and I spent some time in Orissa , India visiting the family and also visiting the churches and the work of the Gospel there. As you all know, the church in Orissa, went through a tremendous season of persecution in 2008. Over 100 Christians were martyred, many of whom were pastors and evangelists. I witnessed how the pastors and evangelists continue to proclaim the Gospel in the face of great opposition. I have seen their work first hand. We would like to bless them during this wonderful Christmas season. We would like send $50 each to 20 pastors and evangelists. We also like to bless 30 young girls who are residing at the Dugudi Children's home. I am attaching their pictures with this note. We would like to send $25 for each of the girls. That money will be used to buy them a special Christmas gift including a set of new clothing.
This is an invitation to you join us prayerfully and joyfully to bless the pastors and the children. You can sponsor one pastor or one child or both, or give in any way that you can, according to the blessings the Lord has bestowed on you. It will be a tremendous blessing to them. Perhaps your church can sponsor a couple of pastors.
Please you make checks payable to:
Union Center United Methodist Church.
Memo: Orissa Christmas Project.
Mail your gift to Union Center United Methodist Church, 128 Maple Drive, Endicott, NY 13760
Joy to the world, the Lord is come.
In His Joy,
Brown
