An Orchestra Made of Garbage

These kids from Cateura, Paraguay (a vast landfill outside Paraguay's capital of Asuncion, Paraguay) have a passion for music, but no money for instruments. So they made them out of trash! The world's only Landfill-harmonic orchestra sounds like a million bucks!

Merry Christmas!

We pray that you and your family have a blessed Christmas! In the poem called "The Innkeeper" by John Piper, he tries to imagine what might have happened when the soldiers came from Herod to find the birthplace of Jesus. And what Jesus might have said if he showed up 30 years later to talk to the innkeeper about it. It’s fiction. But its aim is truth and hope and joy.
