Faith in Kids Faith In Parents #104 | Celebrating Christmas On The Other Side Of The World
Imagine a place where Father Christmas and baubles celebrate New Year (not Christmas). In that land the local church does a Christmas nativity play, except the cast don't know what the angel does next or where the baby is born. This is Kazakhstan. Hear about the thrills, the surprises and the lessons from Christmas in far off lands.
