Gift Of Love 2021
It’s Christmas again, the season for giving and receiving, and joy to the world! Having received the greatest gift of all, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, we want to give and serve others too, especially those in need.
This year, our Gift Of Love activities are reaching out to over 10,000 people in Singapore with practical gifts like supermarket vouchers and grocery packs. We also want to be a blessing to the nations around us and through local partners in Cambodia, Myanmar, India, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines, our Gift Of Love Global programme, which gives food and daily essentials to the poor, is touching the lives of over 18,000 people in those nations.
