Christmas Love in Action: Partnering with CRY to Transform Lives
Written by Aimé Gotte
Did you know that the two most translated books in history are the Bible and the French children’s classic Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince)? More than just a sweet story, the latter is filled with profound lessons, many of which reflect Biblical values. One of its most famous quotes says, “You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.” If we truly believe that we are all God’s children, connected as one humanity, then true love creates responsibility: once we have seen or been touched by another’s need, we cannot turn away.
Scripture teaches that God entrusts us with the care of His creation and commands us to protect the weak, the orphan, the widow, and the stranger. Compassion demands commitment. To love, in God’s eyes, is to take responsibility — to nurture, defend, and cherish those who depend on us, just as He lovingly cares for us.
I am proud to be part of a Church family that, over the decades, has stood shoulder to shoulder with CRY in a transformative partnership, reaching across continents to touch the lives of countless children in need.
This Christmas, KCC is once again joining hands with CRY, raising vital awareness and funds for children who have been orphaned, abandoned, or subjected to abuse. CRY works closely with children’s homes worldwide, empowering local champions who devote their lives to nurturing, educating, and protecting vulnerable children. Every penny raised goes directly towards sustaining this life-changing work throughout 2026.
At the heart of the campaign is the story of an eight-year-old girl named Lolita, from Bolivia. Her journey begins in deep pain but blossoms into hope through the compassion and care of those who refused to give up on her. Lolita’s story reminds us what Christmas is truly about: love that redeems, light that breaks through darkness, and hope that restores what was lost.
Told with sensitivity, her story also highlights a painful reality that CRY and its partners face too often — the lack of justice and protection for children who have suffered sexual abuse. Lolita’s rescue, and the ongoing care she now receives in a safe home in Bolivia, is a powerful reminder of why this work is both urgent and crucial.
As you read and watch CRY’s appeal, you’ll see how this cause is woven into the heart of the Christmas story — a story of redemption, justice, and homecoming.

This Christmas, as we gather to celebrate the Prince of Peace, KCC will once again give CRY the platform to share more about this vital campaign and raise funds for it. Every gift will help change a child’s story. Let’s come together — as a Church family — to bring light into the lives of children like Lolita, across the world.
