Welcome to Episode 3 of Season 5! Today we speak with Joe Davisson and Shelley Kenyon about the large, diverse, and amazing ministry of "Christmas Sharing." Both Joe and Shelley have served Christ and his Church in so many ways- through school, work, and ministry. But in this conversation we will concentrate on an fantastic ministry and their part in the ministry . . . Christmas Sharing. Christmas Sharing is not only in their congregation, but throughout Wheaton, IL and the Illinois 200 School District. Also, we will discuss ways folks and congregations can begin a similar ministry to reach out and serve along side others in Christ Jesus!
We begin with a prayer (00:40), the ways God called Joe and Shelley to faith in Christ (02:16), what is Christmas Sharing (04:32), why Christmas Sharing was founded (06:40), what is unique about Christmas Sharing and how it draws them into ministry (09:11), what did it look like before the COVID-19 pandemic (12:19), how it has changed (20:06), stories of Christmas Sharing (26:09), ways for people to be involved (32:45), avenues in which people and congregations can begin a ministry to reach others (34:33), and how Christmas Sharing has changed their congregation (41:16), and a blessing (44:12).
