Welcome to CCI's Christmas Shop!
Items sold here will help raise money for humanitarian aid. CCI has compiled all of its Christmas related items from various countries into one shop for your convenience. Items are also listed in the individual country shops.
This year, CCI is featuring an assortment of Christmas stockings representing Ethiopia, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, (Africa in general), and Guatemala. Some were purchased in-country, some were made by widow or other humanitarian groups in-country, and some were made by volunteers here in CCI's office. Regardless of where they were made, your purchase will assist humanitarian aid projects around the world. Each stocking description will notate who is was made by or where it was purchased, as well as the country is best represents. Each stocking is unique in its design or placement, so only one of each specific stocking exists though some do have similar stockings listed as well.
You will also find ornaments, nativity sets, and more as you scroll through the items below. Many items are limited in quantity, or we may only have one, and while CCI does its best to keep the page up-to-date, we will let you know if something you have ordered is out of stock. 
In addition to the Christmas-related items listed here, please visit our other shops for great gift ideas, including many items perfect for stocking stuffers!

If an item is marked sold, but you have an interest in obtaining one significantly like it, e-mail Angela. CCI will seek to find out if another can be provided through our sources.

Ethiopian Hand-Painted Ornaments
Brand new to CCI's shop on December 13! Order now and we will try to get it to you by Christmas!
These ornaments were made and hand-painted in Ethiopia. They are made from clay or a similar material. No two are exactly alike in shape, size or decoration. Some feature the Star of David, some feature crosses and others feature a different type of decoration in conjunction with the Christmas tree decoration.
CCI will take preferences for numbers, but as the pictures will not be updated regularly, CCI does not guarantee you will receive your preference. Feel free to note several options, which should help us better fill your order to your liking. No refunds will be issued if we send an ornament other than the number you order.

This stocking features traditional Ethiopian colors. The stockings are made by the poorest of the poor women in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia. A ministry called Transformation Love sponsors the group and has sent these women to sewing school in order that they might have a means to make a living. Through providing for their physical needs, Transformation Love is showing these women Christ. NOTICE: This particular stocking is flawed. The primary flaw is that the I and the A at the end of the word Ethiopia is not filled in with the embroidery the other letters have. This could likely be fixed by someone who can do the stitching. The word Ethiopia itself is facing the opposite direction of most of the other stockings like this, though this in-and-of-itself is not a flaw. The word panel is shorter than most of the others like this, though again, this is not necessarily a flaw. However, the word panel's fringe on the bottom is not cut well and is therefore only partially fringed. WE ARE SELLING THIS ITEM AT OUR COST. CCI paid a fair trade value price to this women's group for their work. To view a larger image of this actual stocking, click here. To view a close-up picture of the details, click here. $15 |
