The Gift Of Salvation
// Jeanne DeTellis Loudon
New Missions is a mission to preach Christ.
In preaching, we also have our eyes open to the needs of God’s people in areas such as education and health care. Our hearts forever celebrate when we see or hear about one more person saying “yes” to Jesus.
We have the honor and joy of telling children about the birth of Jesus and His plan to give them the greatest gift of all: salvation. Your gift of a Christmas shoebox gives us the opportunity to preach the Gospel when we give the children their shoebox. It is thrilling to see them raise their hands saying “yes” to Jesus.
At 11 years of age, my Sunday school teacher invited me to receive the gift of salvation. From then on, I have had the God-given desire to tell people about Jesus. I love to hear an altar call inviting people to come to Jesus. I love to say the words again and again, and to use this occasion to pray for those who have not said “yes” yet!
This Christmas, I want to tell you and others about the gift of salvation; incomparable and unperishable. Say “yes” to Jesus. Become a child of God and join His family for now and eternity. “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved...” Acts 16:31 ~Jeanne DeTellis Loudon
