WHAT
IS "CHRISTMAS FOR CHRIST" AND WHAT ARE OUR NEEDS
CHRISTMAS FOR CHRIST IS SIMPLY A CHRISTMAS
PARTY OR GATHERING THAT WILL BE HELD AT THE TOMBIGBEE GOSPEL
JUBILEE BUILDING ON ACCESS ROAD IN FULTON MISSISSIPPI DECEMBER
14TH STARTING AT 6:00PM. STEVEN SCOTT MINISTRIES IS THE PRIMARY
HOST FOR THIS EVENT AND THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR FOR THIS PROJECT.
THIS YEARS SECONDARY HOST WILL BE THE STAFF OF THE TOMBIGBEE
GOSPEL JUBILEE WHO'S OWNER BROTHER HAMMER HAS SO GRACIOUSLY
DONATED HIS BUILDING AND ALL OF iT'S RESOURCES TO US FOR USE
TO PRESENT THIS GET TOGETHER. WE ARE PRAYING FOR MORE SPONSORS
AND CO-HOSTS THIS YEAR TO MAKE IT EVEN BETTER THAN THE LAST.
"CHRISTMAS FOR CHRIST" IS DESIGNED TO GIVE
THE LESS FORTUNATE AND OPPORTUNITY AT CHRISTMAS TO HAVE A
GOOD MEAL, AND TO HEAR SOME GOOD GOSPEL MUSIC FROM SOME OF
THE BEST GOSPEL TALENT IN THE INDUSTRY, AND TO RECEIVE GIFTS
OR (CHRISTMAS PRESENTS) THAT UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES THEY
WOULD NOT RECEIVE. WE ARE PRAYING FOR ENOUGH GIFTS THAT EVERYONE
THERE WILL LEAVE WITH A GIFT OF SOME SORT.
IT IS SOLEY DONE TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
AND TO SHOW THE TRUE MEANING AND SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS. WE HAVE
AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW TRUE "AGAPE LOVE" AND TO SHOW WHAT
TRULY "LOVING THY NEIGHBOR" REALLY MEANS.
FROM NOW UNTIL DECEMBER 14TH WE ASK FOR
VOLUNTEERS TO GO OUT AND HELP RAISE MONEY BY SOLICITING SPONSORS
FOR THIS PROGRAM. I WRITE LETTERS TO CHURCHES, I MEET WITH
PASTORS TO RECEIVE SUPPORT IN NOT ONLY RAISING MONEY FOR RADIO
AND TV ADVERTISING BUT FOR FOOD OF ALL TYPES FOR THE CELEBRATION.
WE HAVE VOLUNTEERS GO OUT TO BUSINESSES
AND ASK FOR DONATIONS OF PRODUCTS TO BE GIVEN AWAY AS CHRISTMAS
PRESENTS. AND FOR EACH FINANCIAL SPONSOR THERE WILL BE RADIO
COMMERCIALS HEARD ON WBVV SOLID GOSPEL RADIO BY OVER 50,000
PEOPLE IDENTIFING THEIR BUSINESS AS "A CHRISTIAN BUSINESS
SPONSORING A CHRISTIAN EVENT" AND WE HAVE FOUND MANY BUSINESS
THAT HAVE SAID THEIR SALES WERE BOOSTED TRIMENDOUSLY BY THESE
ADVERTISMENTS. WE WILL USE UNITY BROADCASTING NETWORK THE
CHRISTIAN TELEVISION STATION IN FULTON TO DO TELEVISION ADVERTISING
THAT WILL REACH OVER 150,000 PEOPLE. WE HAVE NOT SEEN NUMBERS
LIKE THIS TURN OUT BUT AT LEAST WE KNOW THE MESSAGE IS HEARD
BY THAT NUMBER. I PERSONALLY GO TO THE POLICE AND SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENTS AND TRY AND DISCOVER PLACES WHERE THE HOMELESS
MIGHT SLEEP OR STAY AND TRY TO SEE THAT THEY ARE BROUGHT THERE
AND MINISTERED TO.
WE NEED VOLOUNTEERS TO HELP WITH THE ARRANGEMENTS
OF GETTING SOME OF THE PEOPLE TO THE GOSPEL JUBILEE BUILDING
AND THEN HELPING THEM GET HOME. WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO PUT
OUT FLYERS AND TO HELP PRINT AND DISTRIBUTE FLYERS AND INFORMATION
ABOUT THE PROGRAM. LAST YEAR IT WAS HELD IN OKOLONA MISSISSIPPI
AND THERE WERE OVER 125 PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED, AND MANY MORE
SAID THEY WANTED TO COME BUT DID NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO GET
THERE. WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO BRING A COVERED DISH…TO BRING
PIES AND CAKES OR ANYTHING THEY MIGHT DESIRE TO EAT.
WE NEED DONATIONS OF BLANKETS FOR THOSE
WHO MIGHT NOT HAVE THEM, OR THE HOMELESS WHO MIGHT ATTEND.
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO GO TO RESTAURANTS AND GET COMMITMENTS
FOR FOOD (EXAMPLE) LAST YEAR OKOLONA MS. SUBWAY DONATED TWO
TRAYS OF ¼ SANDWICHES, FIRESTATION #1 RESTAURANT LAST YEAR
DONATED 20LBS OF BAR-B-QUE PLUS THE BUNS AND SAUCES, AND HAS
COMMITTED TO THE SAME THIS YEAR.
COKE COLA DONATED MANY CASES OF DRINKS;
SANDERS OIL DONATED 100 SMOKIE LINK SAUSAGES AND JUMBO HOTDOGS.
ANY FOOD DONATION IS NEEDED; ANY PRESENTS THAT CAN BE GIVEN
AWAY WILL BE NEEDED. ANY FINANCIAL DONATIONS ARE GREATLY NEEDED
AS THE RADIO AND TV ADVERTISING IS EXPENSIVE. I OWN A COMPUTER
COMPANY AND HAVE THE RESOURCES TO MAKE THE RADIO AND TV COMMERCIALS
THUS WE DO NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THOSE TO BE MADE. THE RADIO
ADVERTISMENT STARTS NOVEMBER 20TH. WE WILL NEED CHRISTMAS
PAPER AND SCOTCH TAPE TO WRAP THE GIFTS AND MANY VOLUNTEERS
TO HELP DO THE PHYSICAL WRAPPING ON DECEMBER 13TH THE EVENING
PRIOR TO THE CONCERT PARTY. WE WILL NEED CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
AND VOLUNTEERS TO PUT THEM UP AND TAKE THEM DOWN. UP ON THE
13TH AND DOWN BY THE 16TH. ANYONE WITH NEW OR UNIQUE IDEAS
IS WELCOME.
THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF CHRISTMAS FOR CHRIST
IS FOR THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY, WHETHER IT BE A BAPTIST CHURCH,
A METHODIST CHURCH, CELEBRATE RECOVERY, ANY CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION,
IS TO COME AND SHOW SOME HANDS ON LOVE TO THE LESS FORTUNATE
AND TO SEE THAT EACH OF THEM FEEL WARM, FED AND WANTED. WE
HAVE A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY THAT NIGHT TO SHARE THE MESSAGE
OF SALVATION AND LOVE OF GOD TO A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO IN MOST
CASES WOULD NOT COME TO A CHURCH OR ORGANIZED CHRISTIAN FUNCTION
AT A CHURCH.
WE ADVERTISE TO THE PUBLIC TO COME AS YOU
ARE, THAT THERE ARE NO RULES ON HOW YOU ARE TO BE DRESSED.
WE HAVE FOUND THAT MANY WILL COME TO "CHRISTMAS FOR CHRIST"
IN A PLACE THEY DO NOT VIEW AS THREATNING AND HEAR THE WORD
OF GOD IN SONG AND EXPERIENCE FIRST HAND WHAT CHRIST CAN AND
WILL DO IF WE ONLY TURN TO HIM, WHERE THEY WOULD NOT GO TO
A CHURCH BECAUSE OF THE STIGMA THE MEDIA HAS PUT ON THEM.
OUR PURPOSE IS A NIGHT OF LOVE, A NIGHT
OF GIVING OF OURSELVES AS JESUS GAVE TO US. EVERYTHING MUST
BE FREE, FOOD, MUSIC, TRANSPORTATION, GIFTS, AND MOST OF ALL
YOUR UNRESTRAINED LOVE. IT IS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHAT "JESUS CHRIST'S BIRTHDAY AND HIS LOVE
IS ALL ABOUT" IT IS A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THE CHRISTIAN
COMMUNITY IN A LIGHT AS IT HAS NEVER BEFORE BEEN SEEN.
I FOUND MANY YEARS AGO, IF YOU SET UP A
HUGE TENT AND SPEND A $1,000.00 ON ADVERTISING, THAT THEIR
WILL BE SOME OF THE MOST POWERFUL EVANGELISTS ON A CERTAIN
NIGHT…YOU WILL HAVE ONLY A HAND FULL TO MINISTER TO. BUT IF
YOU RENT THAT SAME TENT AND DO $1,000.00 WORTH OF ADVETISING
THAT THERE WILL BE 5 OF THE BEST GOSPEL SINGING GROUPS AND
THEY WILL BE SERVING FOOD, ON A CERTAIN NIGHT, THE TENT WILL
BE FULL, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE GOD'S WORD WILL BE THE
SAME.
I ASK ALL WHO WOULD LIKE TO HELP, PLEASE
DO SO, BUT DO SO WITH AND OPEN HEART, AND DO SO WITH THE INTENTIONS
OF RECEIVING NOTHING IN RETURN EXCEPT THE WONDERFUL FEELING
THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVES US WHEN WE HAVE SHOWN TRUE "AGAPE LOVE"
I PROMISE ALL WHO ARE INVOLVED A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE
IF YOU HAVE NEVER FELT A HEART OF TRUE GIVING. I PRAY YOU
WILL JOIN US. LOVE, AND LOVE WITHOUT RESTRAINTS, GIVE AND
GIVE WITHOUT FORETHOUGHT. REMEMBER: "THE ONLY THING THAT STAND
BETWEEN A PERSON AND WHAT THEY WANT OUT OF LIFE IS SOMETIMES
MERELY THE COURAGE TO TRY IT, AND THE FAITH TO BELIEVE THAT
IT CAN BE DONE." STAY IN GOD'S CARE!
BECAUSE OF JESUS
