In Luke 18:15-16, Jesus rebuked His disciples for preventing children from coming to Him. Today, barriers still stand in the way of many children experiencing Christ’s love.

But this year Elevate and Joseph wanted to give some of the volunteer trainers the challenge, the experience and the joy of making Christmas special for the children from their Bible clubs. The Christmas outreach budget was spread between 4 groups, from Phalombe in the southern region to Mzimba in the northern region.
