Today, our Christmas in August was completed with a delivery to our missionary…
Thank you to everyone who gave, helped pack, loaded, drove and delivered. Every point of touch will impact lives…
Some pics of our collection and the delivery team 🙂!

A write up with Annie Armstrong and National WMU
🎄 Christmas in August sounds a little strange… until you realize what you’re actually giving.
A box of supplies.
A note of encouragement.
Something a missionary needed but couldn’t 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.
🎁 Christmas in August is a chance to turn a simple box into gospel partnership.
