Celebrating Christmas
As Christmas all over the world, RTN ministries was preaching the Gospel and celebrating Christmas in small Pakistani villages. The picture above shows the attendees sharing in Christmas cake. Below you will see the excitement as treats were handed out.
Our on-the-ground evangelist and pastor, Shakeel, reports, "We celebrated Christmas and the children performed some Gospel songs, telling verses from the Gospel. The church building was packed with children, youngsters, and elders. They were enjoying the decoration and the message of Jesus Christ's Birth."
Shakeel's sermon title was “Everybody Wants a Child” and he went on to tell how the birth of Jesus was different from others. It was a virgin birth brought about by the power of the Holy Spirit and the will of God. He went on with the story as told in the Gospels: the child in the manger, the star in the east, and the slaughter of the innocent babies. He concluded with these words, "Today we also need to find Him, to praise Him, and to receive Him in our lives as Savior."
Below you will see photos of the children's Christmas presentation including dancing, singing, and sharing of Bible verses:
"Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together! "- Psalm 34:3
