Why the name CHRISTMAS International?
The primary purposes in choosing this name were four-fold
1. To proclaim Jesus Christ as the sole authority for the ministry.
2. Desire to put Christ back into Christmas â the name calls attention to that. It isnât about Santa Claus, Christmas Cards, Christmas greetings, Christmas songs etc.
3. The name should represent the multi-faceted nature of this Bible based Christian ministry. Christmas Intl. Is a service oriented ministry designed to minister to the total needs of all people whom the ministry may come in contact. Our ministry is to help people both spiritually and in terms of the whole person.
4. International represents the intended global scope of the ministry. We have recently begun incorporating the Internet to this end. Most of our prayer requests already come through the Internet.
