Merry Christmas from the YesIAm team!
We are so grateful for all the hard work and all the many donations that have made YesIAm an effectively working missions endeavor! To any who have given money, purchased Carrie's music, spent time in prayer, or donated any number of things including (but not limited to-) time, WE THANK YOU!
We would like to give you each a gift this Christmas and that is this:
SAVE all your unwanted gifts that you receive this year! Any thing that is given to you that you might consider tossing in the trash or taking back to the store, or even re-gifting... Hold on to it! Ugly sweaters, crazy scarves, stinky candles... Hold on to it!
GIVE all of these items to a local homeless ministry or women's shelter. What they can use, they will and what they can't, they will sell to make money for the things they need! You don't need an official YesIAm event in order to be doing local and practical missions work where you are. That ugly throw blanket with puppies on it might not fit in with your living room decor, but a homeless person would be thrilled to have it during this frigid season!
For Monroe ladies, Peace Place is a great shelter to aid. (We've worked with them before- they're legit!)
For Augusta ladies, The Bridge Ministry is a fantastic homeless church to volunteer with and to make donations to. (I know their pastors, GOOOOOD people!)

Also, don't forget that Carrie Bowen's Christmas single "More" is still available on iTunes for only $0.99! Proceeds will be sent to Pastor Biju Thampy of Vision Rescue. Vision Rescue is a non-profit, registered charity involved in feeding, providing non-formal education, medical help, skill training and other kinds of help to the addicted and abused street children in Mumbai, India. We love teaming with Pastor Biju and dream of taking a team to work side-by-side with him someday! In the meantime, even if we're sending a dollar at a time, let's do what we can with what we are given!
