Balik Bayan Boxes

A very generous Christian friend in the U.S. along with her kind neighbors got together to collect toys, books and clothes for the Filipino children. Even though the boxes usually arrive at an unknown time anywhere between 1-3 months, we prayed that the boxes would arrive before Christmas. Praise the Lord!! They arrived last week just in time!
A few rich people's extra toys became Christmas gifts for over 100 poor children. This will be their only gift for Christmas.

The ladies came to help wrap each toy for each child. Look at those smiles! They are so excited about how God provided and answered prayers! What a blessing! Thank you, Lord!
The presents are all wrapped and ready for the kids. They will be surprised--we kept it a secret! Maybe next year we can collect even more toys and give to more than 1000 kids! There is no end to the amount of kids I can find within just a short walk from my house. May the kids come to know Jesus' love more and more this Christmas!
