Give Light (2012 Bite-Sized Projects)

Give Light Banner

Isaiah 50:10 says, “Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.” But where will he find the Lord? Jesus said “I am the light of the world” and He also said, “You are the light of the world.” Do you want to give light to those in darkness? Choose one of these projects and help someone walking in darkness to trust in the name of the Lord.

Playgrounds in Macedonia aren’t just for kids. They’re for churches.
