What if a smile from one of our Rudi volunteers lets a child know how cared for and loved they are? Year after year, we watch God take the JOY of giving $10, $20, $25, $100 or more – and multiply it to provide all the needs to put on this Christmas Project. I just ask that you prayerfully consider spreading JOY across the world – uniting the family of God – in a global celebration of our Savior’s birth.
