Join us as we take
this time to celebrate with thanksgiving, God's unending gift of Jesus when “Love
Came Down at Christmas” ... in JULY!
When was the last time you looked back to
remember all God did for you? Has it been a while?
At Christmas we focus on the Lord God who
came down at Christmas, because of His never ending love for us.
Love Came Down at Christmas to rescue us and set us free forever.
This is
the message we share through Christmas H.O.P.E. International.
To help our children learn that through the
birth of Jesus, Love Came Down at Christmas, we give out gift
packs that tell of what God did because He loves us.

... so that's what we did by holding a Shine USA Christmas H.O.P.E. Coloring Contest in 2013.
We celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ as a reminder of
God's love sent to Earth through the Savior.
As believers, we are to share this message of H.O.P.E. (Heaven's Own Promised
Emmanuel) to everyone. The USA theme was S.H.I.N.E. (Shine His
Incredible News Everywhere), based on the scripture Matthew 5:16.
"Let your light shine before others, so
that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in
Heaven." Matthew 5:16 ESV
Do your kids like to color? Can they express what
Christmas really means? We thought so, and that’s why we believed the Christmas H.O.P.E.
Coloring Contest would enable us to reach a multitude of people with the gospel of message. It worked!
Then Jesus said again unto them …
"I
am the light of the world: he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but
shall have the light of life. (John 8:12)
You made this possible in the USA.

Children from around the globe have gotten hold of this message about the LIGHT of Jesus. and it's recorded by some pretty popular people in their world.
To help our children learn that through the
birth of Jesus, S.H.I.N.E.,
we gave out gift packs that tell of what God did
because He loves us. In each gift pack there is a coloring page contest. Each
child was given instruction on the rules and personal information they needed
to include with their entry.
Other "Shining the Light" Prizes that were given.
The fun glow-in-the-dark keychain: 1-1/2" tall cross-shaped zipper pull is fun for adults also. It can be hung on clothes, book bags, lunch boxes, Bible covers, phone covers, etc. Psalm 119:105 (KJV) is on the front.
Glow-in-the-Dark Zipper Pull had this verse on it:
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." (Psalm 119:105)
The USA Christmas H.O.P.E. contest closed December 20th. Prizes and winners for
USA entries were determined by the Pastors Jim and Cher.
Children were given a coloring page of a
scripture Christmas Tree. This coloring page and an essay was to be used for
the Christmas H.O.P.E.
contest. For each child who participated, there were two parts to the contest.
Judging the contest to determine the winners was
selected by SOFFY Ministries. Prizes were listed online. All participants coloring
page and essay were postmarked by December 20th or earlier. One entry per
child. Coloring pages were not returned and became property of SOFFY. (See all the details and the rest the prizes here.) Thank you for giving generously so we could distribute these packets to nearly 1,000 kids in Southern USA. Donate

How often do you see your teenager longing to read the
Bible, especially when it is illegal to own one? This teenager/young adult in Pakistan won
this Bible through the Christmas H.O.P.E. International Contest.
She was only one of the few that received
Bibles, but we want to change that.
Through Christmas H.O.P.E. you can make a difference in a
child’s life by making a donation that will help us get the right Bible
translations to those who don’t have access to one.
By monthly making a donation you can be an active part in
spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, so we can reach one child at a time.
