Christmas ToyMania · A story of hope

More Than Toys: Your Love Is Bringing Hope Through Jesus | Meet Nicole

Your love and prayers are bringing more than resources. They are bringing hope to families in Sandtown-Winchester.

Christmas ToyMania Is Just Eight Weeks Away!

The excitement is building! Some of you have already sent gifts to the toy warehouse and many of you are still deciding what to purchase for our children in Sandtown-Winchester.

I thought I would share a report of how your donations of love and prayers to this ministry are more than just sending resources. It really is bringing water to a thirsty people and hope to members of a community who rarely have a glimpse into a bright and prosperous future.

A future with hope

Nicole’s testimony

Last year I shared an account of a young lady by the name of Nicole. When Nicole came to us, she was homeless, sleeping on the floor of a friend’s house, while her two daughters shared a couch. They had no clothes and, because of their homeless situation, her daughters were not attending school.

Nicole took on the ImageMakers “Better Parenting” and “Financial Success” programs, and I am overjoyed to report that she is successfully getting through the phases of the program.

Although some days are better than others, Nicole won’t give up and looks to Jesus for all of her answers. Her eldest daughter has a passion for cosmetology and is preparing to enroll in an academy.

Because of your love, what was a hopeless journey for Nicole and her daughters is now a future that can shine bright and ultimately with hope.

This is how together we bring hope to a people that are in need of Jesus. We help them and then show them Jesus.

“We overcome them by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.”
Revelation 12:11

These are testimonies that we experience in real time and, like the angels in heaven rejoice when a soul comes to the Cross, WE DO TOO!

Make a difference through Christmas ToyMania

You, too, can make a difference in the life of a child, a teen, even a father or mother. Not only do we give a gift to each child, but we also give to the parents as well.

Providing love to a child for Christmas will bring them joy and also gives us the opportunity to bring the Gospel of a Risen King who died for their sins.

Remember, most of these kids won’t receive anything on Christmas morning as most live in broken homes. Let’s tangibly share the love of Jesus today.
