Girasoles Christmas Request

As we enter into the Christmas season, I am thinking of the street boys living in our homes across the country. We love these children, and we do everything that we can to show them how much God loves them. Christmas is a difficult time of the year for the boys in our homes. It is a holiday centered around celebrating the birth of Christ and sharing among family. Many of you have heard the stories about the backgrounds of our boys. Most of them come from broken, abusive backgrounds, and obviously this is a time of year when many of them are constantly being reminded that they don't have a family with which to share the holiday.

We take our responsibility for these children very seriously. We are their family. This Christmas season we have an excellent opportunity to share the message of Christ coming to earth as a man. We will share how we can be redeemed from our sins and from our brokenness through the gift of salvation that God freely extends to each of us.

We also want to show the kids that we love them and we value them. I ask you to prayerfully consider partnering with us to make this happen. A gift and a Christmas dinner for these kids is so much more than the material aspect. It is a tangible way that we can show them how much we love and value each of them--more importantly how much Christ values them. Across the country of Peru we currently have more than 200 boys in our care. If you want to help make this Christmas season something special for these children, then I encourage you to open the following letter from my friend, Billy Clark.

Thanks so much for your continued partnership in this ministry. Thanks for your continued prayers. Please remember to keep all of these boys in your prayers this Christmas season.
