Spurgeons
Sami and the ultimate Christmas Gift. If you're looking for a fun project that will make a real difference this Christmas - maybe you're a busy church leader, school teacher, or youth leader - let us introduce you to Sami. Sami is 11, and he lives in one of the largest slums in Africa. His story will inspire you with a fresh take on the Christmas story - and help you make a big difference, to vulnerable children like him, through Spurgeons 2010 Christmas appeal.
Sami's search for the ultimate Christmas gift to give to the newborn king that he's heard about is told in our new FREE DVD - filmed at Spurgeons Academy for AIDS orphans in Kibera, Kenya - that shows how your church or school can get involved in supporting some of the world's most vulnerable children in Africa and here in the UK this Christmas. Inspired by Sami's resourcefulness, we've created a pack of great FREE resources, fun activities and fundraising ideas to spark your church, school or group to share the Christmas story and support disadvantaged children.
