Happy Birthday Jesus Parties
During the Christmas season, FML also holds Christmas parties, in which they celebrate Christmas with children in these same communities, as well as local prisons. During these parties, each child receives a sweatshirt, a gift bag filled with special gifts of winter wear, toys, candy, and educational items, along with a hot meal. There is a program with singing and dancing.
Parties are held around the Metro Atlanta area, West Virginia, Mexico, and Africa. This year, their first African Christmas party was held in Nairobi, Kenya. It was very well received there with approximately 3,000 children in attendance. In the last several years, these parties have served over 11,000 children and their families.
