PVBC Family and Friends,
I would like to extend to you the invitation to give Christmas to the nations this year. I have been sharing on Sunday mornings about this year being the year that we could all look back on one day as the year we gave Christmas to the nations.
Over 2 billion people in the world today are born, live the duration of their lives, and die without opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. The Good News of God's love and salvation is not available to them due to the lack of access. Access. All of God creation deserves access to the hope of Christ. Christmas is about experiencing the hope and wonder that God came to earth to express His love and forgiveness of sin. Can you imagine living your life without ever hearing this news or knowing anyone who has heard this news? This is unacceptable.
This year would you and your family accept the invitation to give Christmas and the Gospel to the nations through the International Mission Offering which we will be receiving through December 28, 2014. 100% of this offering goes to fund the international missionary personnel who are taking the Gospel to the nations.
Perhaps instead of giving all the gifts that we normally do this time of year, you could do something different by giving Christmas away to fund the missionaries seeking to reach the people living in darkness with no access to the Gospel. Consider cutting your Christmas budget in half or more and give sacrificially to offering this year. Perhaps you have never given to this offering before. Consider making your first contribution to this eternal investment.
Pray now that this may be the year we look back on and remember as the year we gave Christmas to the nations. Give Christ to those who have never heard.
May God bless you and your family this Christmas,
Pastor Myles
