Christmas is a time of celebration, wonder, and gratitude. As the year draws to a close, the glow of Christmas lights and the warmth of loved ones remind us of the reason for this season: the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

At Mission of Hope, we are especially mindful of the hope and joy that His birth brings to the world. On Christmas Eve, we reflect on the angel’s powerful proclamation in Luke 2:14: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men.” This message of peace and goodwill encourages us to extend kindness and compassion to those around us. It inspires us to serve others and share the love of Christ through our ministry.

Christmas Day brings us to the heart of God’s love. As John 3:16 declares, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” This incredible gift—the gift of salvation—is the foundation of our hope and joy.

Through our Christmas deliveries and outreach, we’ve been blessed to witness this hope in action. From providing toys and food to families in need to seeing the joy on a child’s face, we are reminded of the difference love can make. This work is only possible because of the generosity and support of so many who partner with us to share God’s love.

As we celebrate Christmas, we encourage you to take a moment to reflect on the blessings in your life and the true meaning of this holy day. Whether you’re surrounded by family and friends or enjoying a quiet moment of prayer, may you feel the peace and joy that only Jesus can bring.

From all of us at Mission of Hope, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!
