It’s that time of the year again: time to shop till you drop to find the best deals on toys and clothing and other gifts that you hope your family and friends will appreciate. It’s a time for Jesus and stress and frustration, and for trying to reconcile the true reason for the season.
Which brings us to our next point. Why not do something eternal this holiday season? How about Christmas for a cause?
At the end of the day, Christmas is a time to share the love of God with a hurting, confused, and lost world, and we think it’s the perfect opportunity to bless those less fortunate.

Ako Ay Pilipino Movement
Here is a creative idea for Christmas gifts. Last year we published the Ako Ay Pilipino: Noon at Ngayon (I Am Filipino: Then and Now) coffee table book.
