Gifts For All Gods Children
In 1987, Gifts For All God’s Children began at Faith Lutheran Church in Troy, Michigan as an advent ministry to aid underserved youth. That year, 187 children from 3 Detroit churches received Christmas gifts. This outreach has expanded due to a growing number of people in churches, private and public schools, organizations and businesses sponsoring children, making donations, or volunteering.
In December 2023, they were able to provide 3,029 children from 48 partnering churches and organizations with a total of 18,000 Christmas gifts. Since 1987, more than 83,000 children have been served! Along with the sponsors in churches, businesses and schools who purchased beautiful gifts, thousands of gifts were shopped for and wrapped at their “Christmas Workshop” in Rochester, Michigan. Large bags of gifts are distributed to the children at Christmas parties, after church services, or delivered to their homes.
