Today we welcomed a team from Extreme Response. They have been coming to Living Hope to put on Christmas parties for clients and kids for several years. In fact, my first trip to South Africa and Living Hope was on an ER team! So this was special for me, six years later, and be on the other side this time. The Christmas parties – about a dozen of them(!) – will be held next week. But so much planning goes into them in both scheduling and supplies. Today the team is organizing and making up hundreds of gift packs for men, women, and children. Each gift is meaningful, containing toiletries and other useful items. Christmas will be here in a few short weeks, and these Christmas parties are a great way to celebrate all that the Lord has done in the past year, from the kids to the support groups to the patients in the health care center, everyone is getting a bit of Christmas spirit early – and a wonderful reminder of Who it’s all about!
