The Hope of Christmas at BTC

During Christmas we celebrate one of the most profound and mysterious events in all of creation: God himself, the Alpha and the Omega, the omniscient, the omnipotent, the omnipresent, the one who spoke the universe into existence took on the form of one of his own creations. He did it so that he might reveal to his broken world that they are not alone, that He is near and that He will do whatever it takes, even if it is the cruelest form of execution, to restore and redeem his people to himself. And with the cries of an infant in a barn, the very trajectory of the universe changed, and hope on the deepest level was born. Broken people everywhere awakened to the realization that there is no pit so deep that the love of Christ cannot reach it, penetrate it, and destroy it. Today, on a daily basis, BTC carries the message of Christmas into the lanes and brothels of one of the largest red light districts in the world, into lives devastated by the horrors of sin. They tell these women and children that they are not alone, that the God of the universe loves them and treasures them, that they can be restored in His name and in His love.In the smiles of our children and women in the children’s homes and in Ashagram, in their dances, in their prayers, in hands lifted high and in tears streaming down jubilant faces during worship, we see the message of Christmas revealed and realized again and again. Their lives serve as testimony that the hope of Jesus is alive and real 2000 years after it first entered the universe through the cries of an infant.BTC wishes you and your family a wonderful Christmas, and we pray that you too will be reminded that you are not alone, that God is with you and that you are deeply loved by the King of Kings. We thank you for all that you have done to help us in sharing the hope of Christmas throughout the year.Bombay Teen Challenge
