This year Saving Susan Ministry continued a tradition of what we call “The Christmas Give.” This year was the greatest success yet, as our church partners and the community within those churches joined our Saving Susan and Genesis Elevator communities, and the impact was significant!
Last year we impacted 47 children at Bileg Solid Rock and House of Hope Zacapa, and this year we had the opportunity to expand our gifts to include those two orphanages, as well as our newly partnered orphanage, Imparting Smiles Children’s orphanage, Imparting Smiles Children’s Center in Poipet, Cambodia, and Eagle’s Nest Children’s Home in Guatemala, an orphanage our team visited on the September mission trip. The gifts and letters contributed to the 2019 Christmas Give impacted more than 100 children and countless staff at the four orphanages we have a connection to! What an amazing blessing to see God grow the reach of Saving Susan and our partners. Each child and staff member received a gift at the Christmas Party we helped provide.
Because of God’s faithfulness and your generosity to the children impacted by our ministry, Saving Susan’s borders are being expanded, and more children are hearing and feeling the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Thank you for being obedient to God’s word when he says “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world” James 1:27.
