Todd & Julie MullinsLead Pastors

C hristmas is almost here, and every year our Christ Birthday Offering makes it possible for the light of

Jesus to shine on the needy, the hopeless and the spiritually lost -- from our neighborhoods to the nations of the world. That kind of love is revolutionary! It’s the kind of love that trades shopping malls and traffic jams for transformation and hope…one life at a time. We celebrate what we as a church have done this past year… serving faithfully and giving generously.

Together we provided safe houses for the children of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, who were living in the city dump.

Together we provided clean water and food and shared the Gospel in remote villages in India.

Together we fed the homeless in our region seven days a week!

Every dollar given in our Christ Birthday Offering goes to spread the message and love of Jesus to those in need, providing food, water, housing, schooling and medical care – to thousands of children from our own neighborhoods to the nations of the world.

Because of your sacrifice, we are impacting our world – and eternity – by loving on people in need and boldly proclaiming the message of Jesus Christ.

Merry Christmas!

KOBE’S TRANSFORMATION

Changing a child – Changing his future

Six days a week, our church family is in Belle Glade “loving on” the children of that community. Every week we tell them, “God loves you and has a great plan and purpose for your life.”

One day, Kobe walked through the doors of our Belle Glade Life Center. He was withdrawn and hurt from being bullied at school. But in the Life Center, he found a place where he was loved and accepted. He heard about a God who loved him so much that He sent His only son just for him. This year during our special Easter program at the center, Kobe knelt down with tears in his eyes as he accepted Jesus as his Savior.

The transformation in Kobe was instantaneous. Now Kobe is a confident young man full of hope and a future. He recently told a member of our team, “I want to be a strong Christian man when I grow up. I want to help others like you!”

Thank you for building into Kobe’s life.

BECOMING L A T O Y A

5,700 students trained in Human Trafficking Awareness Program200 law enforcement officials trained by our staff1 home dedicated to restoring hope to rescued girls

BECOMING L A T O Y A

Before LaToya shared the Bible with friends, before she was baptized, before she excelled in school, before she served as a loving, compassionate sister to the girls at Hope House, LaToya was a runaway forced into the sex trade.

L aToya had to grow up fast in a fractured family as the main caregiver for her ill sister. When

her sister died, LaToya ran away from home and got caught in a trap on the streets with nowhere to go. Rescued by law enforcement at age 16, she came to Hope House. She found a safe place in our faith-based home dedicated to rescuing girls from human trafficking here in South Florida. Still a teenager, LaToya’s

transformation this year has been remarkable. With counseling, support, tutoring and love, she is thriving. She has a relationship with Jesus, and she tells the other girls how remarkable it is to be adopted into God’s family - our family. “I love that Jesus’ last words were to take care of his mom, to take care of family. I want everyone to know even if you feel worthless, there’s hope for all of us.”

WILL TO SUCCEEDWill came to Place of Hope at age 12 after living on the streets

of Lake Worth with his mom and little brother.

“L ife was not easy, but it was all I knew. I never had time to dwell on

anything other than how we would find our next meal and where we would go to sleep. The Place of Hope became our new home. My life was structured and I was happy to be in a cottage with my brother.

Looking back, my past challenges enabled me to find God’s purpose for the future. When I was homeless, I didn’t have high expectations for my life. Today, I am being called to make a difference in my local community and beyond.”

JOANN’S COTTAGETogether we are providing a home for pregnant teenagers

in the foster care system. Eight babies started life here in a

safe and nurturing environment for them and their moms.

URBAN YOUTH IMPACT Your support makes a difference for 150 at-risk children making

academic improvements with the Dr. Tom Mullins School of

Leadership.

We partner with Place of Hope – the largest foster care provider in Palm Beach County started by Christ Fellowship 15 years ago – with 6 locations and beds for 125 kids. Through a transition home, we empower young adults with life skills and confidence to live independently. The Treasures for Hope charity store opened to provide job skills, awareness and fundraising for Place of Hope.

FIRST CARE 4,689 women and

teenagers received life affirming medical care,

counseling, and education.469 babies were born in a safe, comforting environment.

“Work for the peace and prosperity of the city where I sent you.” Jeremiah 29:7

HAITIWe are providing clean water, housing, care and schooling

for orphans and special needs children.

IN 2015

This year, our teams built and renovated dormitories for children with special needs. We provided food and medical care for families still living in tent cities around Port-au-Prince. And our teams shared the Gospel with hundreds of children through our Bible school programs.

Outside Port-au-Prince, in villages where half the children were dying from disease and malnutrition, Christ Fellowship is providing free medical clinics

and feeding centers for 1,000 children every week. And in 2015, we will begin caring for 6,000 children in Haiti alone!

This December we are returning to our New Life Children’s Home to share Christmas with 200 orphans.

Seth Ray, from our Stuart campus, said, “My time in Haiti provided a realignment of my heart and an awaking of the true meaning of ‘love on.’ I carry a piece of that time in Haiti with me wherever I go.”

We are planning trips to Haiti every month to care for the children, train pastors and build homes. For more information on how you can take part, contact Becky at BeckyK@cftoday.org.

Through the world’s eyes, Haiti is known for devastation and poverty, but, through the eyes of our teams, we see beauty. The stark reality of chaos outside is replaced with the calm inside of our children’s homes, churches and schools.

INDIATotal Village Transformation

Together with the India Gospel League, we have built churches, dug wells, and are currently caring for 2,000 orphans daily.

We bought a well-digging rig that goes to remote villages providing a source of clean water for those in need.

Recently, we have expanded our reach into the leprosy colonies to care for the most marginalized and share the message of Christ.

Kyla, from our Gardens campus said, “There was a point when no water was coming out. The entire village gathered around and prayed. Water came flowing out and we could see the joy on people’s faces.”

With our help, women are able to send their kids to school and have a voice in the community. We are supporting a medical clinic and changing women’s lives with leadership training.

IN 2015We will continue the complete transformation of a village by building a church, providing education for the children, supplying food and water for families and establishing free medical facilities.

Christ Fellowship has been sharing the love and message of Jesus in the country of India for more than 25 years.
