Our gratitude goes out to all of you who prayed for & donated to The Pavia Project for the Annual "Abraza un Niño" or "Hug a Child" event. This year the goal was to bring in 1000 toys to bless 1000 children, teenagers, & pregnant mothers in Pavia. The event, held on Dec.19, was a huge success & blessed over 500 children. Because there was no provided transportation this year, everyone had to walk to the event. This cut down on the number who were able to attend. The rest of the gifts will be distributed on Christmas Eve morning to those that were unable to walk. Here are a few pictures to give you a highlight of the great things that took place in Pavia.....

Some of the faces of Pavia. They enjoyed having their faces painted that day also! |

My poor Imanuel was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the concrete floor. Ian was taking care of him while we distributed gifts to the crowd. |

Here are a few of the kids with their Christmas gifts! At the beginning of the event one of the pastors thanked God for the gifts the children were getting ready to receive. They know that God provided this blessing! |
