14th ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PROGRAM PRAISE

SUCCESS, and yes spelled with capital letters, is the best word to describe our Annual Christmas Program. This is due to the generous support provided by many corporations, schools, churches, civic groups and individuals which gave our Program and Delivery Teams the opportunity to take Christmas blessings into the 26 Elementary Schools we assist. The MOH provided over 17,000 Children and their Families with food and hygiene items, new clothing, toys and gifts. Bibles and tracts were given to the Students, as well as our prayers. We were also able to assist several Ministry Centers we serve.

Thanks to the following for sharing the “Gifts of Christmas” with our friends in Appalachian by giving their time, energy, and dedicated Volunteer spirit throughout the year:
