"There's a Family that Needs Help"

"There's a Family that Needs Help"

One Christmas season, our team spent the day at a small village church along the border of Hungary and Romania. We sang Christmas songs with children, made crafts, shared the story of Christ’s birth, and distributed gifts to families in the community.

As the evening came to a close, a local man approached the village pastor with an unusual request.

“There is a family you need to meet.”

Without knowing what to expect, several of us climbed into vehicles and followed his directions out of town. We drove deeper into the countryside, past the village and into open fields. Darkness surrounded us until, in the distance, we spotted a small flickering light.

It came from a tiny shack standing alone in the fields.
