Give a Little Light

Finally!

Tomorrow is the day.

After months of planning, learning, preparations galore and working side by side with so many talented people, the Light the World Charity Machines open at 11.00am in Birmingham’s Grand Central Shopping Centre (Monday 1st December).

I feel excited, but also deeply blessed.

These past few months have been filled with the sweetest moments as I have worked with so many gifted volunteers.

Their talent, kindness, and steady willingness to serve have lifted this whole project.

It has genuinely been a privilege to be part of it.

And now we get to share it with everyone.

Light the World is Christmas at its very best.

It turns the season into something bright and joyful by inviting us to do what Jesus did and “do good” (Acts 10:38) in simple, meaningful ways.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints covers every operational cost, which means your entire donation (100%) goes straight to the charity you choose.

Nothing lost. Only love shared.

And the gifts you can choose this year are wonderful.

Food for a family. Clean water for a village. Sleeping bags, hygiene kits, farming tools, job training, school supplies. Even goats, sheep, or chickens.

Nine charities will benefit this year.

This Christmas, you can give a gift that changes lives.

When you donate, I promise you will leave with more peace than you came with, simply take notice of what happens to your mood.

A little spark of joy settles in your heart when you choose to help someone else.

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” – Mother Teresa.

You can find the machines in Birmingham from 1 to 21 December, and also in London’s Spitalfields Market from 6 to 20 December.

If you are nearby, come stop for a minute, press a button, and let your giving shine.

Together, we can help light the world in a season that celebrates the Light of the World Himself, even Jesus Christ.

Whose Christmas could you brighten with one small gift of love?
