CHRISTMAS is a great time of year to BE Jesus to people. Here are some ideas that can help you do that:
• Visit hospital patients who can’t go home for the holidays. Bring gifts, cookies, etc…and share the Gospel.
• Give a days wages, $ you saved, etc… to Star of Hope, Salvation Army, a missionary, etc…
• Volunteer time/service at your church – cleaning, repairing, etc…
• Buy socks & blankets and take them to the homeless with some food.
• Visit those unable to get out & about, in nursing homes, jail, etc…
• When eating at restaurants, ask the waiter/waitress how you can pray for them.
• Invite friends over for a Christmas party – have games, snacks & a
speaker who will share the Christmas story about Jesus.
• Write letters of encouragement to those who need a “written hug.”
• Wrap gifts up for Jesus (commitments, $ for needy, goals, etc…) – open them first!
• Include Gospel tracts when you pay your bills, when you drive thru fast food places, when you give gifts, etc…
• Sing Christmas Carols at stores, in your neighborhoods, etc…
• Don’t let people be “home alone” on Christmas. Invite them to part of your celebration.
• Help the elderly/widows with a meal, yard work, etc…
• Ask local stores if you can wrap gifts, help carry out packages, etc…. All for FREE!!!
• Create a birthday card for Jesus. Write in it what you would tell Him if you could hand it to Him in person.
• Have a Birthday Party for Jesus or a pinata’ for kids in the neighborhood.
• Take your family to a stinky old barn on Christmas morning and read thru the Christmas story.
• Get some families together and buy a bunch of NEW cloths, toys, etc.. and have a FREE garage sale in a poorer neighborhood.
• Not much $ - Make a “kind deeds” Christmas book & give it to your
Parents. Coupons for “I’ll cook dinner”, “I’ll do the laundry”, “free kid-sitting”, etc…
• Take a homeless person to lunch.
• Have a Christmas cookie exchange – and a speaker to share the Gospel.
• Go to the mall, Look for lonely people sitting on a bench and talk to them about Christmas.
• Invite a neighbor, friend or family member to Christmas Eve service.
This is Cool God Stuff!
