A great big thank you to some really sweet little ones who did a really sweet thing.
Here while back the South Carolina group, Palmetto church of Christ had a spaghetti dinner fund raiser for the Manna Project. See the blog "When was the last time you slurped a noodle?". It was such a huge blessing as we were wondering where our funds were going to come from for the next month when as always God provided.
While the group had the spaghetti dinner the little ones in the church, Palmetto Kidz, had a bake sale. Yep my favorite part of any fund raiser is the bake sale. The children were able to raise $70.00 to send down here to help with the supplies and needs of our Sunday school class. This is not the first time they have come to our aid, after our printer was attacked by giant printer eating ants (they got two of them) they were kind enough to send the money to replace it.
What a great way to involve the children in reaching out and spreading the gospel to other children. They are truly getting a head start on being mission minded and hearted. After a bit of thought Jen and I decided to spend the money on getting electricity to the classroom. At this time we have no lights and when it is cloudy it is very hard to see and if it is cold or rainy we have to shut the windows and then it is down right dark.
So we just want to send out our thanks to the Palmetto Kidz for helping bring the light to Honduras in more than one way.
This same group of children heard the call of Kool-aid. In the kitchen we go through about 20 packs a day. It is only about $.10 a pack in the states and it is $.25 over here. So by sending it over in the container or bringing it in your luggage it is like getting more than double our moneys worth. So we ask for Kool-aid.
They decided to collect packs of Kool-aid in the month of March. These guys were able to bring in 430 packs. I figure that saved us over $60.00!
They really came to our AID in a COOL way.
We think you guys are a great example of how anyone of any age can help reach out to others to meet physical and spiritual needs. We are very proud of you and send out a great big THANK YOU for all of your hard work (a special thanks to the parents too, as a Mom I know that those cookies don’t magically appear and a special trip was made down the Kool-aid isle at the grocery, you are setting a terrific example for your children and helping them to see the needs of others and to help meet those needs).
Our children will be saying a special pray for all of you this Sunday morning.
