Birthday Parties for Jesus

 

BPfJ started in 2004 in two communities, under 20 children, with coloring books and hats and gloves to give as gifts and has grown dynamically from there. We now see approximately 400 children.

 BPfJ is a great time of year for us. We are able to go back to communities that we are only able to see in the summer and reconnect with the children we met in the summer. And since who doesn’t like getting a gift, we also meet many new families and children. You may have noticed that I said families, that is because we are seeing many new open doors by reaching out to the parents at Christmas time. Most parents are amazed and so grateful that someone thought about them and gave them a gift too.

If you want to help, you can donate items that we can give away (new please), make shoe box gifts, or support us with your funds. We travel thousands of miles to reach all these children, and as you have probably guessed, that means lots of gas. So that we can get all organized and geared up in time for the ministry that the Lord has given us, if you are sending box gifts or items, we do request that you have everything to us by November 1, 2009. Thank you.

 


“A gift opens the way of the giver and ushers him into the presence of the Great.” Proverbs 18:16

José's Story

José (not his real name) looked much younger than his twelve years. His little body was so small and underdeveloped that I could not imagine that he took care of six younger siblings, including two sets of twins. He had come to retrieve Christmas presents for his family from the very first Birthday Party for Jesus (BPJ) we held in his town. Sadly, that year...
