A Letter from our CEO

“….And she brought forth her first born, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.”

Dear Friend,

This phrase, “...there was no room for them”, will be repeated every time the Christmas Story is told. It’s just a phrase, but children face this situation every day. When?

It happens every time a “mother” abandons an unwanted child. It happens when babies are dumped in filthy public bathrooms or left in a cheap hotel by a “parent” with no intention of returning. It happens when a “mother” lies unconscious from alcohol or drug abuse and the authorities have come to take the innocent children away.

These are real stories about real children who, by God’s grace, have found their way to the Children’s Village which, for 46 years, has made room for children with no where else to turn. The Children’s Village is not just an “inn”, a place for a night’s shelter from the cold. It is a home, with house parents, and social workers, and helpers of all kind, dedicated to every physical, emotional and spiritual need these poor children have.

All this is made possible by caring people who provide the financial resources required to meet this tremendous need. Thankfully, their generosity will keep The Children’s Village from hanging out a sign saying, “There is no room for you”.

Please help us continue ministering to abused and abandoned children by making a generous donation of any amount to The Children’s Village at Christian City. Your help is critical during these trying economic times. Will you help us? Please?

Have a very merry Christmas,

Bob Crutchfield
President/CEO
