Christmas Shoe Boxes
Since 2001, Crossing Borders Ministries, Fabens, TX., has been distributing Christmas gifts to impoverished children in Mexico. Last December 2800 shoebox gifts were distributed to 47 locations through a network of pastors and missionaries. These pastors in the El Paso/Juarez Lower Valley bring the names of children in their churches and communities who really need some Christmas Joy. The kids who receive these gifts would have nothing for Christmas except for all of us working together. Please see the display in the Great Hall for details on how to fill the Christmas Shoe Box. The Christmas Shoe Boxes are due Sunday, Dec. 1.

Pray for Missionaries Passage: 2 Corinthians 3:1-3, focus verse 3
Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you? You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all. And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
Paul likened our lives to living letters, an open epistle read by everyone. As we are transformed by the Holy Spirit, our lives reflect changed hearts in how we love and minister to others. Pray God’s Spirit would be evident through missionaries and church planters as they minister in difficult places. Pray you would minister with a sincere heart on which God’s Word is written.
Prayer Focus-Sub-Saharan African Peoples: Give thanks to God for a seminary student in Cape Town, South Africa, who has planted a church. God is drawing people to it. Pray this church would grow through professions of faith and that members would grow in their faith and understanding of God. Pray God would use the student to teach this church plant how to plant more churches.

Missions Through WMU and WOM
The mission of God is a thread woven throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. God makes it clear His desire is for all people to know Him and follow Him. The Bible helps us understand God’s mission and know how Christians are to be involved in His mission.
God issued the mandate for us to be involved in missions through the Great Commission. Our choice is how to be involved. WMU and WOM offers many opportunities for giving and hands-on service missions projects.
