This blog is to honor one of my supporters. I am blown away by the love and sacrifice that this family is making this holiday season.
A few weeks ago I posted a blog about a couple guys that were raising funds this December to go on a mission to their homeland and preach to the gospel to the remote people there. The blog was titled “missionaries don’t just come from America.” After posting that blog, one of my supporters contacted me so say that their family didn’t have a lot to give, but they were interested in supporting these missionaries, my friends, here in Kenya.
After following up with this family, I found that instead of getting a Christmas tree this year, they were going to donate the $50 that they would have spent to support them. Now that is sacrifice. The thing is, you don’t have to have a lot of money to make a difference in the life of someone.
This $50 is going to help a group of people give up their time to travel hours a way to preach about Jesus. This $50 is going to change the lives of people in an entire village. This $50 is going to bring the love of Christ to an area that has never seen it.
So, thank you, lovely supporter, for the sacrifice this year. You are changing the lives of so many. Let this be a challenge to you this Christmas. What can you sacrifice this holiday to make a difference in someone else’s life?
Buy someone a cup of coffee.
Volunteer at a homeless shelter.
Get a gift for someone who won’t get one this year.
Sponsor a child.
Donate to an organization (yes you can donate to the Kenya Initiative!!!!).
One of my favorite quotes is from Gandhi, “be the change you wish to see in the world.” It starts with you. How are you going to change someone else’s life this Christmas?
