Loaves and Fishes put out a very nice thank you to Christian Family Fellowship on Facebook. We also received a certificate thanking our church for the faithful support. The Mission Team thanks you for bringing in food every month to help those struggling in our community!

When Mark Waite sent a message saying that there was terrible unrest and violence in Cameroon, you did not hesitate to donate immediately! $2,300 dollars was sent to the pastors and orphanage to help get food, water and medicine to the Christians in Cameroon!

We collected and delivered 72 shoeboxes! These boxes not only bring joy to the children, but also the message of salvation and the love of our Lord, Jesus!

By the time you read this, we will have had our Formula and Fellowship Sunday. I hope you read the story of Baby A. Your donations buy much needed formula for the malnourished babies in Burkina Faso, Africa. Not only do the caregivers receive formula, but they also hear the message of Jesus, and they also learn that they are loved and valued by our Lord! Thank you so much for supporting these precious babies and their mothers!

The theme for Loaves and Fishes food donations will sound very familiar. For the month of December, please bring in food that could go into a holiday box, such as canned corn and green beans, boxed mashed potatoes, yams and brownie and cake mixes. Keep your eyes open! We may have you take a turkey to church Sunday! This will be a Sunday when you can bring a frozen turkey or pig (ham) to church that will be taken to Loaves and Fishes!

Peter Kim, with Connections Prison Ministry, has a continuing need of new underwear and socks and also warm outerwear such as coats, flannel shirts and hats for the men and women he helps. Here is a story from their latest newsletter. From Drea ... I walked into Connections Kindness with nothing. From the moment I introduced myself, I felt a connection and kindness from Peter and Michelle. Everything I was wearing was borrowed, they provided me with clothes, fed me and listened to my story. I felt seen and heard. I enjoy giving back to the store by volunteering. I am so grateful for Peter and Michelle and Connections Prison Ministry and the Kindness Cafe and Closet.

As always, thank you for the prayers for our missionaries!
