FOB Christmas gift 2024: Thank you note from our local leader

Dear FOB Donor, Saya has been helping distribute Christmas gifts and bags of rice to the needy. But this year, he was diagnosed with cancer in his right kidney and had to undergo surgery. He is a breadwinner for his family. His father is a pastor, but all his church members and his family had to leave their hometown because of the current situation in Myanmar. In addition, his father is physically weak and can no longer earn anything for the family. So, Saya is the only one the family has to rely on at this time. I visited him and prayed for him. He was very happy to receive the Christmas gift, which symbolized God's love for us. He asked me to convey his deep gratitude to you for your love and this Christmas gift. I was also grateful for the opportunity to bring the gift to him. May God continue to bless you!
