Somewhere in the hustle & bustle and overcrowded malls…
Somewhere in the beautifully wrapped presents and perfectly decorated trees…
Somewhere in the parties, plays and traditions…
Somewhere, Something, Someone has been lost…

The true spirit of Christmas…

Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ – born the tiniest of babes, in the lowliest of mangers – to be the mightiest of Kings. A glorious King who came to bring us the greatest gift of all – the hope of heaven.

This Christmas, as part of our iCare Christmas Gift to the World offering, we’re making sure Jesus is at the top of our Christmas list. As you add His name to your list, remember that in honoring Him, you can give the greatest gift of all – The Gift of Hope.

Within our community, your Christmas Gift to Jesus will give Hope to those who are carrying the message of Christ’s love to our neighbors and friends – churches right here in our area who are struggling, including Atlanta Vineyard Church, who recently lost their Jimmy Carter building.

The economic crisis in our nation is hitting churches hard, with almost every church suffering a loss in revenue because their people are hurting. This is forcing pastors to make the hard choices of cutting ministries to their community, cutting jobs and losing long-standing properties.

It is our great privilege as a member of the body of Christ to remember that when one member of the body suffers, we all suffer alongside them. We need each other, and the people of Atlanta need all of our churches.

Across the globe, your Christmas Gift to Jesus will give Hope to those who are caught up in the horrifying life of sex slavery in Addis Abba, Ethiopia. In partnership with International Crisis Aid, we will be assisting in providing funds to build a church and vocational training center in the heart of the red light district.

This church, proclaiming freedom in Jesus Christ, will reach out to those in the most desperate of conditions, providing them with hope, help and the message of a wonderful Savior who has given it all because He loves them.

Thank you for your partnership this Christmas as we commit to putting Jesus at the very top of our lists and bringing Him our very best gift – giving HOPE to our community and our world.
