Give the gift of the Gospel this Christmas! Churches, families, and small groups are invited to prepare ministry backpacks this fall in preparation for statewide outreaches this Christmas.

The holidays provide a ready-made opportunity to minister to international missionaries as they are often separated from loved ones. During this season, consider how your family, small group, or church can care for our missionaries.

Jesus often met physical needs as he shared about the kingdom of God. As His disciples, we are to do likewise. Hunger is a growing need in our communities. God can use your family, small group and church to meet hunger needs in your community. As needs are met opportunity is earned to share about Jesus.

Many churches across the Commonwealth will honor life through a special Sunday called Sanctity of Life Sunday. In connection with that emphasis, consider using the first quarter of the year to increase your church’s local advocacy for life. Local centers need church partners. Consider how your mission group, small group, family, or congregation can increasingly be a part of walking in this good work.

“Not only did we get to help underprivileged kids, but more importantly we got to share Jesus with others who may not have ever heard about his love.” Join Pastor Gary Owens and others to share joy and the Gospel through the Christmas Backpacks: www.sbcv.org/backpacks
