November 2020: Family is Forever

Since 1987, The Mission has celebrated 33 Christmases in Mexico. Now, we have the pleasure of celebrating in Romania as well! 

At the Mexico campus, there have been countless Christmas parties, piñatas and birthday cakes for Jesus. After our Christmas talent show, put on by the kids, and the tamale family dinner, new Christmas pajamas are handed out as very excited kids get put to bed to the promise of only one more sleep until Christmas morning. 

We have not been in Romania for as long, so we are in the exciting and fun stage of introducing traditions there as well. This year, we will be hosting a big family Christmas dinner with all of the kids and their parents!

“I had never experienced a Christmas morning, until I came to The Mission with my siblings when I was twelve years old. Seeing the room full of presents and lots of kid’s faces lighting up, was something I will never forget. Tangible love was in the room.  When I was 19 years old, I became house mom in that same house I grew up in. I wanted the girls to experience what I did that first Christmas. Celebrating Christmas each year at The Mission is so full of love, joy and family. To this day, I am still in contact with a few of the families who sponsored me as a young girl. We write each other and they have continued to send me gifts each year.” - Susana, Youth Pastor, Mexico base. 

Anyone can partner with us in making Christmas special for our kids. Whether you are a current sponsor or simply would like to join in on the fun, we would so appreciate your partnership!
