School Supply, Snowballed..Feb 2007





My Dear friends and Supporters,

The story your about to read is true, nothing has been changed or left out!!

What started out to help 20 children with their school supplies and uniforms for this year, went from having just enough money to help (20 children), too enough funds to help 43 children in all.

















What started as a joint venture with another mission group (they ended up not being able to help in time, if ever) ended up with an abundance of supplies to provide a backpack for most, and for all, (10) 70 page notebooks, (10) folders, (4) sets of different types of pencils, pens and colored markers, paper glue, construction paper, pencil sharpener, siccors, ruler set, some diccionaries, (I think I missed something?) for 43 children ages 6 years old (in kinder) to 17 years old in high school.

We were able to help about 22 with uniforms and 16 with shoes. Some had uniforms and shoes provided by another mission.

All this happened in two days with the help of two young Christian men, Garrett and Bret whom God has put in my path, and at just the right timing, as my back went out and I couldn't have done this without there help. I praise God for His mercy and foresight.



This was helped by supporters who throughout the year send me funds every month for school supplies for one child a month (including uniforms and shoes). I want to thank all of you who support my mission, because each one of you helped this to happen. Thank you.








But what really is awesome is how it all came together in two days while I was praying , but wondering how I was going to pull this off without the help of the other mission ....Yes I was worried!!! I am so lame at times in not remembering:
Ask and it will be given to you >
I pray you enjoy the photos of Gods children recieving, through His Grace


















I have a few more bundles to deliver tomorrow and then I'll rest.


My back is getting better every day ..Praise God!!

God Bless you with His peace, daily
Your servent in Christ
