The concept for this Christmas Catalog is simple. It is filled with very real needs; practical ways that our community at Beltway Park can reach people across the street or around the world. We have often been challenged to live with open hands, to unleash what God has blessed us with, so this is an opportunity to practice living generously and help provide some justice for Gods people. Consider the money that you spend on family and friends for Christmas each year. Pray and ask the Lord what portion of that money you and your family could give to the Jewish People, the Orphan or the Exploited across the globe. Then GIVE!

Messianic Jewish Bible Institute
The vision of the MJBI is to bring Jewish people into a personal relationship of faith with Yeshua the Messiah, knowing their acceptance will eventually mean life from the dead (Romans 11:15). The MJBI equips leaders who will establish Messianic Jewish congregations and ministries in Jewish communities worldwide. Additionally, the MJBI seeks to equip the Church in its responsibility to take the Good News to the Jew first (Romans 1:16). Like Paul, the MJBI helps educate Christians in their role to provoke the Jewish people to jealousy and thus save some of them (Romans 11:11-14). Suggested: $25 Your gift: $

Broken pictures come to me. Not enough, never enough. Sewage and exhaust stink in the streets. A 7 year old cornrowed little girl holding her toddling baby brother, mother nowhere to be found. Broken pieces of my heart lie scattered on the dirty shower floor as I cry, remembering that CP stays mockingly no matter where I am. The pieces are spilled on the babyhouse floor next to two wheelchairs and Carmina, her hands unable to hold a spoon, what an honor to feed her with my own hurting hands. And her feet? So familiar... My feet... Translated across oceans. My heart will never be mine again. It lies shattered in broken, dirty, beautiful, pieces, not enough... But You are - Sarah Turner

Here is portion of a thank you note from an inmate of the French Robertson Unit and a note from the unit chaplain. Please let all participants know that the sacks for Christmas mean the world. This has been my worst Christmas in 9 years. But seeing the drawings on the sacks and knowing people care, that do not have tothats a great boost. It shows a lot of guys that somebody cares. Thank You, Bobby Incarcerated men are often forgotten. You folks brought the love of God right to the cells of these men and for a moment they knew that God is Love. Chaplain K. Wayne Horton
