I last reported that we needed another $375 to meet the my expense goal for Sierra Leone. This week at least $400 in anonymous donation came in to put my in country reserve over the top. Thank you very much. Additionally, one of you have paid for five bags of rice that will cost of $43 each. Our goal is to purchase 50, one for each pastor to take one to feed a family for a whole month.
A parallel story but represents this kind of heart and joy I have to be able to walk with those Heaven desires to change their destiny is this. I am leading a Shoes for Orphan Souls project for a Rotary Club here in Claremore and this year I believe we needed to double all our previous years of contributions (As I want to take our own shoe project to Sierra Leone next year in 2011). With four days to go for the campaign we have made this goal of 500 pair of shoes. I was walking out of store having just spent all we had collected and needed to buy three more large bags of socks one for each box of shoes (20 pair per box). So I needed about $25 or so dollars. Well walking out of the store, I see a friend walking out of his store (on a Saturday and he is never in on Saturday), and the first words out of his mouth is how much do you need and hands me $25. (Thats what I am talking about.). Maybe through you all we can make at lease 10 more bags of rice and fun at least 10 more pastors. Again thanks for your more than generous partnership. The pastors starting their 1st year being trained by three of the 1st years students from last year and Pastor's Gregory & Agnus starts today. More to come ...
