ANGEL TREE at ALETHEIA
SHARE GOD’S LOVE THIS ADVENT SEASON
This Christmas, we’re launching our first-ever Angel Tree—a way to share the generosity of God in a tangible way. Each card on the tree represents a need or wish from a family in our church, local missions partners, or global ministry families.
Choose a card from our Angel Tree, follow the instructions to give or donate, and commit to pray for the family or ministry you select. Together, let’s reflect the love of Christ and bring joy to others this season.
ANGEL TREE RECIPIENTS
GLOBAL PARTNERS
Marrero family: Emilio, Hannah, Silas, Ransom, & Theo
The Marreros have recently accepted a new role as Associate Cluster Leaders (ACL) overseeing church planters and missionaries in Portugal and Spain. This position fills a leadership gap in Iberia and will require their family to relocate to Madrid. After a season of prayer, fasting, and conversations with their children and church plant in San Sebastián, they feel confident that God is clearly leading them into this next step. Please join us in praying for the Marreros as they prepare for this big transition and continue to follow God’s call with faith and obedience!

Parker family: James and Cherilyn, Olivia, Benjamin, Emilia, & Anna
After serving with The Navigators on college campuses in the U.S., God led the Parker family to Sendai, Japan which is home to the world’s second-largest unreached people group, where less than 1% of people know Christ. They build friendships with Japanese college students through English practice, Bible study, and hospitality, praying that many will come to know Jesus and share the gospel with others. James and Cherilyn have been married since 2016 and have four children: Olivia, Benjamin, Emilia, and Anna.

LOCAL PARTNERS
The Laundry Project
The Laundry Project assists lower-income families with meeting a basic need – washing clothes and linens, by turning laundromats into community centers of hope. Laundry fees are paid for while volunteers assist with laundry services, entertain children, and create a caring space at the laundromat.
Love Is Ministry: Soccer Club for Refugees
Love Is Ministry Tampa's soccer club for refugee children:
Information: Welcome to Love Is Ministry Tampa! Our mission is to see the body of Christ working together to serve and reach refugees with the love of Christ. There are hundreds of refugees from all over the world fleeing danger in their home countries and end up right here in Tampa. God is bringing the unreached RIGHT to our doorsteps.
As the hands and feet of Christ, we have the opportunity to build relationships with them by serving them through the Kids Club, summer camp, tutoring, and soccer ministry. May God shine through these programs and relationships built as we faithfully serve the refugee community together.
The refugee soccer club: It is our mission to provide the opportunity for the kids and youth in the refugee community to play soccer in a soccer club. It is also our mission to make a godly impact in their lives through the love of Christ and the sharing of God's word. It is our aim to make disciples through soccer and raise up young leaders in their community. We also assist them to excel in their academics and help them graduate in High School and go to college.
