One of the neat things the Mission Office does each year for Christmas is find a young family preparing to go to the mission field who are students at BBC. We find a family who perhaps will not have much for Christmas. Instead of everyone in the office buying gifts for each other, we pitch in money to purchase gifts for each member of this family. We also bring in food items of all types in order that they might have enough for special meals during this season.

 Then on a certain evening, just before Christmas, the Mission Office personnel all go to their home and carry in the gifts and food items. We introduce ourselves and tell them how much we appreciate them following the call of God upon their lives to be missionaries. A short time is spent singing several choruses and then we leave them with a word of prayer.

 It is an awesome time knowing we are helping someone in need whom God plans to use one day on the mission field. We look forward to serving them one day as missionaries with the BBFI.
