I’m alive because Mommy found The Christmas Village.
|
Dear Friends,
We want to share this picture of our newest Christmas Village
baby, born Nov. 21, 2008. Her mom will be “graduating” from our program and
leaving us mid-March. It is with great joy and sadness that we will be saying
good-bye to her as a resident of The Christmas Village,
but it is as it should be. She has a job that she loves, she and her baby are
moving into their own apartment and she is planted in a church home with
Christian mentors. We have witnessed first-hand the miracle that God has
worked in her life as he spared this baby from abortion by bringing her to
The Christmas Village.
We thank all of you for your prayers, your time and your financial
support in 2008 and ask for your continued support in 2009. Listed below are
our upcoming events and fundraisers. We hope that you will join with us in
our mission: Transforming lives … two hearts at a time!
With love,
Brenda & Michael
P.S. Please forward this email to your email list to help us create
awareness for our ministry. Thank you!

are based on servings.

is Strawberry. Upcoming cakes will be Hummingbird, Italian Cream, Carrot,
