Spreading Tidings of Great Joy

Christmas is a special time of year. As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, we also have a wonderful opportunity to reach others with our Savior’s love. Many people are especially receptive to the message of the Gospel during the Christmas season.

With the approach of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, families large and small will gather, schedules will be planned, and expectations will be raised. All of this can add stress to an already overwhelming sense of busyness.

When we hear the Christmas story in Luke 2, we envision a small stable in the little town. There’s Joseph standing with a staff; Mary is sitting beside the manger filled with fresh straw, and a newborn baby is lying quietly therein.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son ..." (John 3:16). From Israel to India world missions are God's own work.
