Two Saturdays prior to Christmas, we spent the day with children's outreaches.
The first was an evangelical program of the Christmas Story (Christ's Birth) - attended by over 400 children.
At the end of the program, each child received a gift bag - many of the bags contained hats/scarves provided by the Stitches of Love ministry at CCEA. Others received small stuffed animals, also donated by friends.
The late afternoon/evening was spent with our friends at the Casa Sanctuary orphanage.
Once again, the Lord was faithful to provide each child with a Christmas present (from Romanian families), and each one received a special blanket, handmade by the ladies of Stitches of Love.
We played games and had pizza, it was a very blessed time.
Our family spent Christmas Eve with the children and staff of Casa Sanctuary, and Coleen & Elli returned on December 26 to decorate Christmas cookies with the younger children (Christmas lasts for several days here - its awesome).
We are so blessed in what God is doing, and the many doors He opens for us to share Jesus.
