December--the reality!

VIP Dinner on December 5th. About 50 people came to the pre-concert dinner.

Missionaries who brought investigators to a concert were allowed to attend. These missionaries paused for a picture after the concert. 

We had 300 people put together 1,300 blankets for the poor and the elderly. This woman (red hat) came off the street and wanted to help. Everyone had a great time at these projects in three different church buildings around Hong Kong. Approximately 10 non-government organizations then helped us distribute the blankets to their clients. 

Sister missionaries helping to make one of a gazillion batches of cookies for our "Creche's, caroling, and cookies" event that covered 5 days at Wanchai building.

A brave soul who wanted one of our cookies. Some thought eating a cookie meant they had to "drink our koolaid" (join the church), so some were reluctant. Missionaries reported great success with the five days of Creche's, cookies and caroling.
