This Christmas, we are determined to reach 650,000 lives by providing life-changing gifts like clean water, goats, and chickens to families in need. How many have we helped so far?

We introduced the True Spirit of Christmas tour to help you understand how your gifts are making a difference in peoples lives. Will you take a few minutes to let us know how we are doing? Your feedback will help us bring you an even better True Spirit of Christmas tour next year.

As part of my 26 Acts of Kindness to honor the 26 angels that were created in Sandy Hook, CT – USA on December 14 th I am making a donation to this wonderful organization ~ I hope others will too!
I’m a little concerned at the giving of live animals to people struggling with their own poverty, floods, droughts etc. How will they properly feed, house and provide bedding for these animals?. Where is the money for vaccinations, drenches, veterinary care should it be needed (and where you have animals you have the need at some stage for veterinary care)? It just seems a double edged sword if people are struggling to feed, vaccinate and medicate themselves, that they are given the extra burden of having to do the same for any animals in their care?
Laura,
It’s so encouraging to hear what you and your family are doing to help others this Christmas. Thank you so much for giving to people in need. Merry Christmas to you and your whole family.
Thanks,

Our family of 9 decided to cut our Christmas budget in half and use the other half to pick some items from the World Vision catalog. We are going to let the kids vote on their favorites and donate to those. We are telling the younger ones that this is how we can give a gift to Jesus at Christmas.
We’re working as a church towards the goal of sending the 28 farm animals for a Christmas giving project. How would that impact your goal of reaching 650,000 lives? I’d love to be able to tie our localized giving into a bigger picture to get people excited. We have your info packet, but there was nothing about this. Any information you can give me to this effect would be fantastic – thanks in advance!
