Mexico’s Forgotten Ones

Working in partnership with churches throughout the city, we invited children to special Christmas parties—complete with music, balloons, and clowns – where they would receive gifts and learn of El Regalo Mas Grande en Todo El Mundo, “The Greatest Gift In All The World.” At these meetings, we handed out Gospel storybooks in Spanish, and a Mexican pastor explained how to receive eternal peace and joy through faith in Jesus Christ.

After one meeting at a church on the outskirts of town, the pastor had a special message for everyone involved with Operation Christmas Child: “Most of these children have never received a gift. The joy in their faces is something that I didn’t ever expect to see. You have been the heart and the hands of God to the people here in Mexico.”
