There are plenty of opportunities to serve others at Christmastime. Are you helping feed the homeless this Christmas? Providing baby blankets for young women with crisis pregnancies? Stocking food pantries for families with low income? Baking homemade cookies for military and those who serve our country?

As you’re serving and using your spiritual giftings and special talents to bless others this Christmas season, don’t forget to lead the people you’re ministering to toward the true meaning behind your actions…Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. 

Invite your Bible study group or family for an old-fashioned caroling where you walk door to door through your neighborhood. Be sure to sing classic carols that share the Gospel message along with holiday favorites.

If you’re feeding the homeless, team up with the ministry to distribute a pocket Bible or Gideon New Testament to each person you serve.

With your own children or grandchildren, read books that give a solid Gospel message such as “I Believe in Jesus: Leading Your Child to Christ.”

If you’re not sure how to share the Gospel, learn how to tell it to others in a meaningful way. So many people in our culture today are seeking for Truth. We know the One who will give them the answers they are looking for. Learn how to lead them to Christ.
