SERVANT sOCK cHRISTAS project

Dear Valued Host Pastors and Leaders, 

We are grateful for every host church, business, donor, and volunteer for your love and support in helping us add value and hope to many precious lives with our Servant Sock Christmas Project to our Northern Communities. 

We are honored to have reached 67 First Nations communities in 14 years in Ontario with our Servant Sock Christmas and recently started personal growth, leadership, and youth max training. We could not have done this without God and each of you. Thank you for your love and support!

During COVID it has been hard for everyone, especially to the north. We have served a few communities who were in a crisis from the loss of youth to suicide and other tragic issues. We sense a need to help our youth, families, and leaders. We are on a late start and walking by faith on this journey. Value your team support in helping us make a difference together.

Four areas you can help serve are ......

1. Host Church or Business - have members stuff a needed quota of stocking for children. Members who sponsor children can buy gifts that help bring biblical education, strategy, comfort, warmth, love, value & hygiene, fun. Examples will be sent by email once you confirm. Need to be Ready for  Sept 18 or 25 2022 for your SSCP launch and have your coordinator/ volunteers ready for launch 

2. Family Bundles– prepare  items, that will help lighten the load of families who have faced a crisis especially those in grief from loss. Example light healthy snacks, nonexpired packaged foods, toiletries, Hygiene soap, face cloths wipes, flashlights, hand warmers, fun family games ie, Pictionary, journals etc 

3. Leadership Bundles prepare with encouraging gifts and healthy, snacks, vitamin C & D, warms socks, gloves, hats, journals. flashlight, warm socks, Hot .water bottles , ice packs . I wrote a book called , Healing from Pain to Purpose and  hope  people can buy a leader a copy of my book on Amazon. 

4. Financial Donation - If you can help with a monthly or a one-time donation, we, thank you in advance. You can donate on our website, email transfer, or by cheque sent to the address below or Canadahelps.org .

We value your confirmation of support in 1 or more of these areas. Every year we have served 800-1000 children and hope to reach our goal  to help the best we can .  We may be short this year and will need to  gather items for family bundles to make up the difference. We are working on details and value your confirmed support as a host church  business, and individual. 

We will need churches to be ready to start for SSCP Sept. 25 th if possible. We are available to do a presention to prepare your volunteer coordinators . This will give them time to shop and time to gather for pick up / drop off week Oct 30 th & Nov 6, 2022. We may have a team to pick up at a few locations but do value your help in the drop off plan for the afternoon on dates above in Brampton which will be confirmed .

We start early due to the shipping process which could be behind due to COVID. We need to work on logistics and value all your help to have all your donations for shipping on dates requested. 

We often travel to two communities during each SSCP and are praying and seeking the Lord on his plan for this year. We believe a healing and transformational revival will break out in the north and we need people to stand and believe with us Act 19:11, Psalm 77:14, Psalm 107:20 and declare a hedge of protection over every life. 

We look forward to growing with your key leadership team to help add value, assist in the healing, and see precious lives rise in purpose. Thank You! We Look forward to hearing from you soon!
