Weekly Watch Focus: Christmas Time! Remember the Poor and Homeless
FRIDAY, Dec 9, 2016, As we celebrate the season of giving and family reunion, make room in your heart for the poor, the homeless, and many who are suffering around the world. The Savior clothed himself in the humblest circumstances. Let's remember the Christians and others in Iraq and Syria made homeless under ISIS' oppression. Strengthen your local community of faith and reach out to those in need right around you. Consider a gift this Christmas time to one of the many charities such as Samaritan's Purse, Operation Blessing, Salvation Army, Iris Ministries, and Missionaries of Charity who serve the needy all year long.

So the disciples determined, every one according to his ability, to send relief to the brothers living in Judea. And they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.”
