Our Christmas Project to Bless Children and Teens on Christmas Day!

Location: U.S.A.
Year Work Began: November 2013 - ALWAYS ACTIVE!
Our Holiday Hugs project raises funds to give families in need a wonderful Christmas morning for their children and bless them with a Christmas meal, too! We ask for some of the Christmas dreams each child has and try our best to make those dreams come true. We do the shopping, and it is one of our favorite things to do! All the gifts are given in the Name of Jesus, so each child knows that Jesus loves them more than they could possibly imagine!

We know these things are not going to help the people get off the streets, but we what we can to help to let them know Jesus loves them.

Huggabear Community Library

A Library to Serve Our Neighborhood Used the Spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

 Location: Huggabear Farm 2.0 Glendale, AZ
Year Work Began: April 2017 to Present - ACTIVE!!
The H.C.P. Community Library is a small library the La Fon-Cox Family built in the corner of their front yard for the families of their community. They took an old refrigerator, because Samuel thought the library should be sealed to keep our rain, dust and other elements of nature, and constructed a solar-lit outdoor library where families can take used or new books for FREE! If they want to return them they can, or they can keep them. Other books can be donated as well and brand new BIBLES are always stocked in the library along with bookmarks, flashcards, videos and other educational supplies. The library was a great success in our former neighborhood and we are excited to open it up to the children of our new Glendale neighborhood!
