CHRISTMAS OUTREACH 2025
THE MISSION.
Did you know that 4 out of 10 families in America report skipping Christmas gifts because of financial pressure? That statistic stopped me in my tracks. I imagined the parents on Christmas morning — trying to explain to their children why there were no gifts under the tree. I thought about the disappointment in those little eyes, and the weight those parents must have felt. In that moment, God placed a burden on my heart — and our Christmas Outreach was born. Our mission is simple: to bring the joy of Christmas to families who may feel forgotten.
Our Savior calls us to care for those in need, and that’s exactly what we’re committed to doing — one family, one act of love, one miracle at a time.
OUR HEART BEHIND THE MISSION.
In 2024, at the birth of The 423 Project, God placed a clear mission in our hearts—to be the hands and feet of Jesus. We set out to make a lasting impact in our community and to reflect His love in tangible ways. That November, we launched our first Christmas Outreach. Almost immediately, over 100 applications poured in—far more than we had funding for. Yet, with unwavering faith that where God gives the vision, He also provides the provision, we pressed forward.
Within just three weeks, God met every single need. Over 45 families received the help and hope they were praying for. This year, we’re believing again—for provision, for partnership, and for the opportunity to bless even more families through the power of Kingdom collaboration.
Your gift is their joy.
