PASTORAL PAGE PRAYING FOR OUR PERSONAL OUTREACH by Asst Ps Gift Daniel The season of Christmas gives us many opportunities for outreach. Personally, this is the time of the year that I get involved in personal outreach, including inviting non-Christian friends for a meal or just attending a Christmas outreach party or simply explaining the meaning of Christmas to a migrant worker or anyone who is curious to know about it.
