Prepping for the Holiday season, it is the time, more than any other for Christians worldwide to do the works of Christ and let their light shine. In KC there are Giving Machines being placed at the Ice Terrace at Crown Center. Those machines provide opportunity for directed donations to four local charities (Operation Breakthrough,  The Don Bosco Center, Hope House, and Hope Faith Homeless Assistance Campus), as well as two global ones, the UNHCR (UN Refugee Agency) and CWS (Church Worldwide Services) of  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. 

The link for the website to donate online, as opposed to going to the Ice Terrace is:

Not a long episode, but in my view, one of the most important. I asked myself what I should share, and it wasn't deep doctrine, it wasn't the mysteries of the kingdom, but a simple testimony that Christ lives!.
