Last week, the KCM Disaster Relief Team returned from Central Texas and Kerr County, where residents are still recovering from the devastating July floods. This time, it was to provide over 800 children with a surprise Kerrville Christmas.
Thanks to the love and support of our Partners worldwide, Kenneth Copeland Ministries brought approximately $200,000 in toys and supplies to Kerrville. To help share the Christmas Spirit across Kerr County, San Antonio’s Spectrum News 1 covered the gifts, love, and prayers hosted by our ministry partner, Pastor Bert Wimberly, and Gates of the City Christian Fellowship.
“It’s been kind of a difficult time for people,” Wimberly said to Spectrum News. “For them to come in here and get quality toys, these aren’t like leftover toys or used toys. There are brand-new, high-quality toys. And that’s all the result of KCM.”
Pastor Wimberly connected Spectrum News with Lacey Treybig and her sister, who traveled an hour and a half to visit the Kerrville Christmas store.
“I just got diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and lupus and stuff like that,” Treybig said. “So, it’s been tough. So, any help we could get to make sure my kids have the best Christmas. They are going to be happy regardless. It’s a new toy in the house; they don’t get very many of those.”
Riley Stephenson, with the KCM Ministerial Relations team, shared about serving the people of Kerr County and bringing them a Kerrville Christmas:
“We’ve seen families come in here who have been going through all kinds of chaos this year. We’ve been able to bless them,” he said. “Some of the ladies that have come through here said they weren’t going to have Christmas, and now they’re able to have Christmas.”
Families who came for toys have left with so much more. The ministry also had clothing, toiletries and food for those in need. The store created a shopping experience that concluded with a prayer for hope and peace as the new year began.
“Felt like as a pastor, it was important that the people coming through knew that I cared about them coming through,” Wimberly said. “We weren’t just trying to get their name or get something from them. We were giving it to them.”
KCM encourages you to watch and share this heartwarming story about bringing the light of Christ to what was a darkened area.
