Immanuel's Child

October, 2025

Immanuel’s Child is a ministry initiative led by churches across many Slavic regions, reaching thousands of children and families with the meaning of Christmas. Families are welcomed into local churches for a joyful Christmas celebration, where each child is given treats, a meaningful gift, an illustrated children’s Bible, and a Star of Bethlehem ornament—personally signed by a caring family from Canada. Most importantly, they experience the life-changing message of the Gospel, shared with clarity and purpose.

This is an opportunity for people across Canada to unite and extend hope beyond our borders. Through partnership, we give more than gifts—we share the life-changing message of Christ’s love. This Christmas, play a vital role in bringing lasting encouragement to children and families who are searching for hope in uncertain times.

With your generous support, 60,000 children will be reached this year, providing each child with:

  • A portion of the star, signed by you, symbolizing your personal prayer and care.
  • An illustrated children’s Bible, opening the door to God’s Word.
  • A unique gift thoughtfully chosen by their pastor.
  • A personal visit from the pastor and church team.

As a token of appreciation, you will keep one half of the star for your Christmas tree, reminding you of the child and family you’ve touched.
