December 1999 Newsletter

This year we able to distribute fresh produce, salads, drinks, nutritional bars, cereal, pop tarts, rice and beans, vegetables, bacon, pork chops, potatoes, candy, and toys to more than 200,000 families. This year we teamed up with Dovetail ministries fo Los Angeles and not only provided food, but inspirational play for children too! Many asked Jesus into their life for the first time! Our hope is that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. As we reflect on all the blessings we recieved through out the year may you always feel the love and joy that comes from the body of Christ as we remember Him at this very special time of year. We at CNI have been blessed by having so many friends that believe in our ministry and continue to contribute to help further the kingdom of our Risen Savior, Jesus Christ!

Christmas Kids' Kits
Have you entered into the spirit of Christmas yet? The spirit of sharing Christ's love to others? I'm sure you remeber how anxious you were for Christmas to arrive and to open your gifts! To see what our parents had bought and probably hid from you, so you wouldn't peak at your "treasured gift" that you were about to recieve and enjoy. Kids all over the world are the same. We continually get asked for toys and chocolate candy from kids overseas. It is just what kids want, but of course , we distribute nutritious food and vitamins too. And never forgeting the real purpose of distribution.... that of sharing the Gospel wiwth those in need to hear bout the birth of Christ!! Celerating Jesus' birth... that's what it is all about! This is our main goal....sharing Jesus wiht the world.... starting in our own communities first and reaching the world. please pray for our kids kits program and pray that we will have enough toys and other items to fill our boxes for needy children. May you remember God's love this Christmas!

Praise report and Answered Prayers
We are so blessed at CNI that words are inadequate to express our gratitude to all who help support this ministry! In the last 3 months God has provided a 24foot container refrigerator, a 24-foot container freezer, a new forklift, and now we are building our new training center! None of this would be possible without God's grace and the support of friends like you. We deeply appreciate your love and we trust you feel our love too!
