San Diego, California is the home to an estimates 8,000 homeless kids, estimated by our medias.
We have 4,000 between the ages of 9 - 18 & 4,000 between the ages of 18 - 21. These kids choose San Diego because of our nice weather year round.
I am pleased to announce that I have put together Christmas for these homeless kids.
We have three churches each that are going to have Christmas festivities for these kids.
Church buses will be sent-out to pick-up the kids and they will be taken to one of the three churches where they will be surrounded by the Church's congregation, music, food, games and gifts.
We (the churches and I) have recruited several local merchants to participate in this event.
Each kid will receive a back pack filled with nonperishable food items,
travel size hygiene items, a bed roll and gift cards for McDonald's and Target.
The games will have cash prizes.
These events will be open to the public and are being advertised,
so we expect much more for the kids.
This will be an all day event and I will be making my rounds to all three of the churches.

The Results of this Event (29th Dec)
For now it can only be said that it was, on so many fronts, a resounding success almost beyond measure & it may be some time before the full effect of all that came to pass can be digested.
There were some unforeseen results which due to the privacy of those involved, can not be posted fully here, but some of the youth who attended, got a gift they'll not forget, in the form of a Home all be it in some case's just for the holidays.
When there has been time for a full assessment to be undertaken we shall appraise our visitors, but you can take it as read we will be repeating the Exercise.
