For many years Christmas gifts are received by thousands of children in Belarus. Big thanks to the organizers and the people who made this a wonderful surprise through the organizations “Samaritan Purse” and European branch of ADRA. With this gift Christmas and New Year comes brighter and more beautiful in many families. This year, over 2,000 children received gifts at meetings organized by the Adventist church in Minsk on Vasnetsov street. We are convinced that unselfish concern for the people is the true mission of Christ. Our friends and acquaintances, large families, single-parent and problem families, children with disabilities and elderly people were invited to the church to see the program. Ten unforgettable Christmas meetings initiated friendship and good relations in the future. For some, the holiday program was organized as a tea party, for others, it was conducted in the church with a spectacular Christmas show, when the hall was filled with about one thousand persons. Dozens of bedridden children and elderly people of factory district of Minsk also received a Christmas gift, but by hand at their home. Our sisters whole-heartedly were doing their work in the kitchen, cooking delicious hot dinner for homeless people, as well as for older people in our area.
Final Christmas show was held at the House of Culture of village Schemyslitsa. About 700 books “The Great Controversy” was distributed and accepted with gratitude by the parents whose children attended the event. Children, youth, choir and church members were actively involved in these activities. Praise God for this opportunity! We believe that these amazing warm-hearted meetings bring us closer to a variety of people and we are getting closer to each other and to God. This is our Christmas gift back to God.
