As we celebrate Christmas this year, we return to the humble manger in Bethlehem—a place where heaven touched earth and where people from different walks of life gathered in worship. Together at the Manger: Unity at the Foot of Christ reminds us that, in Christ, we find our shared purpose, our peace, and our reason to serve. May this season renew our gratitude, strengthen our unity, and deepen our love for the children and families we minister to.
A Christmas Reflection: Unity Born in a Manger
The manger is a powerful picture of God’s heart—simple, welcoming, open to all. Shepherds, wise men, and a young couple stood side by side, equal in the presence of Jesus. Today, we are invited to come with the same humility and togetherness. In this unity, Mission Ministries Philippines continues its mission to strengthen families, empower communities, and nurture young minds through early childhood education.
