Christmas Gifts


On Thurs coming (14th Dec) we are hoping to go into Lisburn with 144 wrapped copies of John Piper's book seeing and savoring Jesus Christ to give freely to all the teens and adults we can! For kids we were unable to find sound cheap material, so God willing they will get sweets!
Our main aim is adults, if parents are saved then they can influence their children for Christ, if teens are saved perhaps, oh God it would be great, if some of them could lead fathers and mothers, brothers or sisters to love Jesus!

Oh yeh did I mention our plan is to dress up as Santa or some other fancy dress, pray for wisdom in this, kids will flock to Santa and I think with adults being the goal we really need to think and pray about this!

In so many churches etc children will receive gifts, but parents and teenagers often miss gifts from the church! Well we aren't a church, but we are part of The Body and so in the Spirit of Christ we pray;

Lord on Thursday would you be pleased to recieve the rewards of your sufferings for Lisburn!

Lets pray that as we go into Lisburn tomorow night that God will bless! ThankYou Father for John Piper and this book we'll hand out; "seeing and savouring Jesus Christ". May 144 people/families who receive it see Jesus on display and may they fall in love with Him; tasting that He is Good!

only God knows now where these books will eventually end up...passed from family member to family member, from country to country...prayerfully allowing many many unbelievers to glimpse at Who Jesus really is and believers to savour once again the Saviour! the copy i had ages ago is now in the philippines having given it to a good friend and sister in Christ!
