This year’s event is not a 1-day event as in the past, but I believe our adaptation due to COVID restrictions will be even more beneficial to the local churches.
Instead of a mass event, this year each faithful church family found a few people in their neighborhood who have need. Then the pastor and the family are making a personal visit to the home to give away the jacket and if possible, to try to win them to the Lord, but at least give them the gospel message in tracts and scripture portions.
With the personal contact by a neighbor and knowing the address of each prospect it will help in follow-up.
It also allows us to submit to the authorities (Rom 13) and give a good testimony before the unsaved rather than be perceived as rebelling against them.
Please pray for lasting fruit. Thank you to all those who participated by collecting jackets.
Please consider helping next year. Just gather good clean used jackets either from your closet, garage sales or even when you see them on sale in July or August and get them to us by late November.
