While most of us love the Christmas season for the music, decorations, special family gatherings, and great food, it's also a great time to reflect on what is really important and if we are engaged in things that matter.  When we learn to be content with what we have, it provides us an opportunity to extend compassion to others, blessing those experiencing a time of need and helping them in tangible ways which demonstrate God's care for them.  As you consider the gifts you will give this Christmas, we're inviting you to make a difference in the lives of people in our local and global families.  

We are asking 100% household participation this Christmas season as we give away $225,000!

We will be investing in these local needs through gifts given to Fuel for Ministry -

• Bless more than 1200 families in need by partnering with 72 local schools and 7 local law enforcement agencies surrounding our campuses.
• Provide assistance to 10 local partners helping families with food and clothing.
• Partner with 2 Christian & Missionary Alliance (C&MA) sister churches in our district by providing resources and training to reach people in their communities.
• Partner with our denomination, C&MA, as they go through the relocation relaunch of our national office to reach and impace their local community and around the world.

We will be investing in these partnerships through gifts given to Fuel for Global Missions:

Guadalajara, Mexico; Waren, Germany; Guinea, Burkina Faso and Senegal, West Africa; as well as over 700 C&MA International Workers as part of our Great Commission Fund giving.
