The Annual Christmas Teddy Bear Ministry

Every Christmas Eve the Expatriate Missionary Ladies of Baguio do a little ministry together at the Baguio General Hospital Maternity and Children's wards.

During the month of December we prepare soft toys for all the patients with a little colouring book telling the story of the birth of Jesus/and with a salvation message. We tie these booklets around the necks of the soft toys along with a box of crayons.

On Christmas Eve along with our families we sing Christmas Caroles in the wards , a short message is given by one of the husbands and then we pray. Afterwards we distribute these toys to the patients and give a bag of goodies to the watchers (patients care givers), doctors and nurses.

Here we are preparing the toys in the home of one of our longest staying missionaries.

(She has been here for 35 years!)

Here are some of the ladies preparing the paper bags of goodies...

Jesus loves the little children.... all the children of the world....red brown yellow black & white they are precious in his sight...... Jesus loves the little children of the world.......
