Christmas greetings from the LCA International Mission office!

We love Christmas time- spending time with our families and friends, eating delicious food, opening presents, and watching Christmas pageants. It is also a special time to remember how God the Father sent His precious Son to be born as a gift for the whole world.

The Twelve Days of Christmas (named Twelvetide) mark the period between the birth of Jesus and the visit from the wise men. Will you join us as we prepare for this time of Christmas by spending 12 days reading and reflecting on the story of Jesus’ birth?

In Australia and New Zealand, Christmas is a popular holiday, but did you know that not every country celebrates the way we do? If you went to a country that does not celebrate Christmas, what would you tell them about this special day? LCA International Mission have friends who live in different countries, and we thought it would be interesting to share with you how they celebrate Christmas. What might you see, hear, cook, or make in one of those countries at Christmas?

We hope you enjoy travelling with us around the world this Christmas and while doing so, remember that Christmas is not just about carols, decorations, beautiful lights, or gifts that we give and receive. It is about Jesus Christ. Jesus’ birth fulfilled God’s promise that He wants to bring us into His loving arms forever.

Merry Christmas!
