Gifts for All Gods Children

In 1987, Gifts For All God’s Children began at Faith Lutheran Church in Troy, Michigan as an advent ministry to aid underserved youth. That year, 187 children received Christmas gifts. This outreach has expanded due to a growing number of people in churches, private and public schools, organizations and businesses sponsoring children, making donations, or volunteering.

In December 2021 we were able to provide more than 2,600 children with a total of 13,000 Christmas gifts. Since 1987, more than 77,000 children have been served! Along with the sponsors in churches, businesses and schools who purchased beautiful gifts, thousands of gifts were shopped for and wrapped at our “Christmas Workshop” in Auburn Hills. Large bags of gifts were distributed to the children at Christmas parties, after church services, or delivered to their homes.
