Hi John,

I hope you’ve had a great week! Before you start your weekend, I just had to share this with you. It’s one of the BEST blessings you help provide every Christmas and yet another example of how partners like you answer God’s call to “love your neighbor as yourself.”

As you can imagine, the holiday season can be especially challenging for families who chose life and are trying to move from crisis to stability. In fact, some of the moms who you have served are still pregnant and awaiting the arrival of their baby!

You may not know this, but amazing partners like you provide holiday meals, winter essentials, and even Christmas presents for young families each year. This is done through a program called Holiday Connections.

Through this special event, families in the Continuum of Care program are connected to supporters and volunteers like you, who help meet their needs over the holiday season. Some of these families have the opportunity to meet volunteers in person and even attend church together. Others who live far apart are able to connect and have food and presents delivered right to their door.

This is an incredible program that gives faithful champions of life the chance to connect directly with women and families in the Continuum of Care program and their immediate needs. This year alone, over 80 families were served through Holiday Connections. What a blessing!

If you have never participated and experienced this event yourself, I’d love to share a quote from one of the partners who recently participated in Holiday Connections. Her family helped provide for the needs of “Samantha” and “Joshua”.

Please take a moment to be blessed by this powerful testimony:

“It was a blessing to be able to help Samantha and Joshua to have a nice Christmas.

“Meeting them Saturday was so touching. Samantha seemed overwhelmed after the ‘elves’ loaded her car with gifts. She kept repeating ‘Thank you’ very softly. Then her mom said, ‘Thank you for doing this for my daughter.’

“That was an emotional moment for me. Over 30 years ago I was a struggling single mother, but I had parents and brothers who helped my daughter and me in many ways, including helping me provide my daughter with gifts at Christmas.

“I was so grateful, and prayed that I would be able to pay it forward someday...

“I will keep Samantha and Joshua in my prayers. I hope and pray that God blesses her and her family with faith in Jesus Christ, and His peace, love and joy during this Christmas season.”

That’s the love of Christ in action. And it’s made possible by partners like you!

I hope this testimony encouraged you, knowing that women and their families are not forgotten during the holidays. Many are blessed to experience the hope of Christmas through Holiday Connections.

So John, during this busy and stressful season, I hope you’ll take a moment to reflect and remember your impact. It goes far beyond rescuing children from abortion this Christmas.

Your impact extends to restoring families, moving them from crisis to stability. And during the holiday season, that means ensuring more families get to experience all the joys of Christmas… from Christmas presents… to a warm meal together to celebrate.

Thank you for all you do to love your neighbors as yourself. You’re truly the hands and feet of Christ to so many!

God bless you, and Merry Christmas!

Vice President of Family Services
