Promt Promotie! Christmas in Chet

Dear Friends, we continue to be very blessed by your amazing devotion you show towards our needs. Survival and effectiveness in this place would be a lot more challenging without your presence. Year by year you keep yourself in action, and by this you give us a wonderful example of brotherly care and love. Thank you!

On a wet, mid-December morning, we have started to distribute the 550 parcels through the village. The work went on in three directions: the Romanian community, the Hungarian community, and the big Gipsy mass, which is year by year the most challenging one. The main challenge is to identify the number of families in their community: this is increasing a lot every year! In order to have a better and more clear overview of this colony we have decided to create a database of the gipsy families, and make them identify themselves with their identity cards. The solution looks to be a good one though not perfect: it creates lesser frustration for us in the distribution, avoiding tricks and cheating.

We had a big team of volunteers in the distribution: our elders, the staff of Eutichos School and the Church: a good team of devoted Friends.
In addition to this great project we were able to surprise our kids with Christmas parcels, too.
They prepared dramas, poems and songs for Christmas.
We send our greeting to you with a passage from the Bible: “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’" Matthew 25

Our final greeting is a song sang on our Annual Christmas Concert, together with our youngsters. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
