On December 5th and 6th thirty-three Salvationists went into thirty-one Chicago Public Schools to provide thirty-six Christmas assembly programs. We were given the opportunity to value, love, and appreciate more than 11,000 children in attendance. The Salvation Army has been given the privilege of ministering to many children in the Chicago area by demonstrating the love and kindness of Christ at these assemblies. We are fortunate to have so many doors open to us and our interaction with these children and their teachers made a positive impact for the Lord.
Today we received a bundle of thank you cards from the kids. These are my favorite ones:
Dear Army Soldiers I love the puppet show. when I grow up I what to be a Army Soldier and fight for the Army. Thank you for the school supplies and the slikers I hope you have a happy christmas.
