AW MAN THOSE ARE TOO SMALL !


This morning we shared with the kids at our church about where the funds that they are raising for missions will be going .  We showed them lots of pictures of the people that were helped with the last round of food donations from Possibilities International as well as a bunch of donations sponsored thew Lamb International.    

I had the contents of one of the bags and as I unpacked it onto the table, we talked about why each of those items are so important to the people receiving them .  Then we got Emma and Bekah on Skype to share first hand what it is like for the people receiving the food hampers .  Bekah pointed out that It is so much more then just food ... food that they desperately need.  She says that the real impact is when they try to understand why Emma and Bekah are there bringing them food .  Many of the people they are helping are people that the girls  have heard about and gone looking for.. the people have no idea who the girls are .. they just know that they were hungry and alone, and the girls showed up to tell them that someone cares about them and sent them .. they share that God LOVES them and knows about their situation...  

After a little visit with the girls,  the kids were shown the little banks that we are going to fill up to raise funds ... 




The response was great ... "AW MAN THOSE ARE TOO SMALL, WE NEED BIGGER BANKS THEN THAT"  I love the enthusiasm... and they may be right .. today they raised enough to provide 2 bags of groceries.   Tomorrow morning , the girls will be heading to the bazzar to pack some bags and make some deliveries.   I can't wait until next Sunday when we bring an update and photos to show the kids who they helped this week...
