Celebrate The Perfect Child!

Christmas greetings to you and your family from 4,000 meters above sea level in Qinghai!My communication with you on this blog has often been about a baby or a child with some kind of problem, and again and again I've asked for your help, both in prayer and sometimes financially. Isn't it awesome that at this time of year we are all focussed on a Child, a perfect baby, named Jesus! Isn't it wonderful that God sent Jesus to us, not because He had a problem, but because every one of us is in need! And isn't it truly Good News that He came to us, ready to pay the penalty for our sins and so reconcile us to our holy and righteous God! I'm sure you're as thankful as I am that 'God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.' (John 3:17)

We can expect trouble in this world, but the reminder at this time that God loves us so much that He sent His perfect Son to us is an assurance we can all hang on to every day. I'm sure you're as grateful as I am that He has met your deepest need, just as He has often met mine.

Thank you again for your love and support throughout the year. My husband Marlon, son Danial and I often pray for you all and we thank God that He has given you hearts of compassion for those who are helpless and in need.

I want to wish every one of you a blessed and peaceful Christmas as you enjoy family, friends and the joy of giving and receiving.

Lots of love,

Siew Mei, Marlon, Danial

P.S. This past Sunday I had the opportunity to share a Christmas Greeting on RTHK radio in which I made mention of the refugees and abandoned children we serve. To listen to the recording click here (Right-click 'click here' and click 'Save As' to download the mp3 file).
