Christmas Change from Kujilana on Vimeo.
After my husband went to Africa, he couldn’t see anything, not even Christmas, without remembering the need and how much he loved the people there. Seeing the need and experiencing the love for our friends there made it easy for us to forgo giving each other Christmas gifts so we could send the money where it was needed. Instead we decided to create Christmas for each other.
Seth asked the blog world to help with my gift, and last year on Christmas morning I opened the Mother Letter Project, over 600 letters of encouragement to a struggling Mama. It changed our lives to see such outpouring.
This year with the help of Echolite Media, Cobblestone Project, Kujilana Project, and an outstanding list of bloggers, including several of our own (in)courage bloggers, we’re humbled to watch ChristmasChange.com become a community hub for sharing ideas and making personal goals to celebrate the Christmas season with incarnational living.
This is your invitation to sign up and then join the conversation at the Christmas Change blog and share your witness of Christmas Change on the story page. After all, this is your story. This is Christ’s story in you.
