Thank you church for supporting the Christmas in August project this year. The schools supplies and backpacks are being delivered by the Chicago Mission Team today!
š Christmas in August sounds a little strangeā¦ until you realize what youāre actually giving.
A box of supplies.
A note of encouragement.
Something a missionary needed but couldnāt easily afford in bulk.
And the reminder that someone knows their name, is praying for them, and wants to help them reach their community with the gospel.
Every year, WMU and the North American Mission Board partner to give churches, families, small groups and individuals a simple way to do exactly that.
You choose a missionary.
You see what they need.
You send it.
And you pray.
It might be supplies for an outreach event.
Resources for ministry.
Items they need week after week to serve their community.
These aren't random gifts.
They're practical ways to come alongside missionaries who are already on the ground, faithfully making Jesus known.
And here's the beautiful part:
Missions doesn't have to be complicated.
A family can do it.
A Sunday school class can do it.
A children's group can do it.
A whole church can do it.
This August, you can give a missionary something they actually need, and let them know they're not doing this alone.
š Christmas in August is a chance to turn a simple box into gospel partnership.
