Philippines church feeds 1,000 children
• Manila, Philippines• Each Saturday, Taytay First Church of the Nazarene strives to
have a special lunch for neighborhood children who might otherwise go without. This Christmas the church decided to take its lunch program to a new height by feeding and ministering to 1,000 children.
Several weeks before Christmas, church members were challenged to become involved through giving and volunteering.
"When we first arrived at the designated covered ball court in the middle of the barangay, there weren't very many people there," said Connie Aebischer, regional Nazarene Missions International coordinator. "Over a short period of time, the children began pouring in accompanied by their parents."

• Youth from Taytay First Church's Generation Congregation joined with church members, Asia-Pacific Nazarene Theological Seminary students, barangay (neighborhood) government officials, and local Jollibee Restaurant employees to help facilitate the day's events.
As the children were seated, the children's version of the JESUS film was shown in the local language. Eyes were riveted to the screen as the story of Jesus' ministry and death was portrayed.
"I have been participating in showing of the JESUS film for many years," said Todd Aebischer, Asia-Pacific regional communications coordinator. "I am always moved by the incredible impact that this story has on the children. It is a story that never becomes old. It is a story of the greatest gift that anyone could ever receive at Christmas."While nearly 1,000 children were fed physical food, they were also served something so much greater: the story of the love of Christ, available to anyone who is willing to receive it.--Church of the Nazarene Asia-Pacific Region

The Word to Live By:
Unlike the other high priests, he does not
need to offer sacrifices day after day,
first for his own sins, and then for the sins
of the people. He sacrificed for their sins
once for all when he offered himself.
