Christmas and Salvation

Our children’s programs had wonderful Christmas programs full of food, music, celebration, and the true meaning of Christmas – in fact at least 13 people were saved through these programs!

Oaxaca

Haiti

Kenya

Uganda

Ghana

Cuba

  • In Oaxaca, families were invited for a delicious meal and beautiful pageant. Each of the grades performed a dance or depiction of a Biblical story or truth. Pastor Victor shared the story of God’s love at Christmas. 

  • In Haiti, the children gathered to celebrate the birth of Jesus with prayer, reciting scripture, a wonderful meal, and gifts. Pastor Chavanne led the children in thanking God for the Forward Edge Family and asked them to continue to prayer for the mission to expand.  

  • In Kenya, the sponsored children and their families enjoyed a Christmas party with scrumptious meal, Christmas carols, multiple cakes, and the Gospel. Each family received a Christmas gift hamper with food for the families. 

  • In Uganda, the staff organized a Christmas party for the children of Katanga slum – a place that would use the joy and peace of Jesus. Due to the large number of children, the community leaders assisted the Forward Edge team with the children. Everyone enjoyed a wonderful meal and a beautiful “Merry Christmas” cake. 

  • In Ghana, needed food packages were distributed to families so they would have food for Christmas together. 

  • In Cuba, the program had their annual Christmas dinner with 345 people attending! The team provided a terrific Cuban meal, and the Gospel was presented to all. That day, 13 people from the community accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior! 

Each celebration was unique and reflected the wonderful work of the program. The hope, love, joy and peace of Christmas were shared with many because of you! 
Bible Story

Whose Bible?

It started with a simple nudge—a last-minute feeling that I was forgetting something important. Rushing through the airport, I couldn’t shake the urge to buy a Bible. I didn’t know why, or who it was for, but I trusted the feeling. A week later, in a small village in Ghana, that Bible found its way into the hands of Talata, a girl who had never heard of Jesus. This is the story of how God’s quiet whispers and a small act of obedience became part of something much bigger than we could have imagined.

Transform a Child's Life Through Sponsorship

Hola (hello), my name is Jeremias Josue

  • location

    Mexico

  • 4 yrs. old

    01-04-2021

Entered the program: July 2025

Jeremias lives with his parents and two older siblings, Deborah and Joel (also in the program). Their home is a three-room sheet metal structure on the side of a steep hill. Only one room is usable, however, since an earthquake damaged the other two. They have a makeshift kitchen and bathroom outside, and water service one day a week. The family sleeps all together, sharing two separate beds. The home is very unhygienic and the children are often sick.

Jeremias's mother abandoned the family when he was a year old. For almost three years, his sister, Deborah, stayed home so she could take care of her young brothers while their father worked. His mother returned in early 2025 and is living with them again and working as an elementary school cook. Jeremias’s father works as a plumber and electrician.
