will receive shoes and socks!
Facebook helped spread the word.
Co-workers rallied behind this cause.
Sponsors of children generously donated.
Some gave in memory of my grandmother, some in honor of loved ones' birthdays.
Shelby Crossings children worked and donated. A teacher then matched the children's funds.
We are blown away and so excited. Children's HopeChest says that the children should start the new school year in January with their new shoes and socks. What a huge blessing! Thank you for being a part, through prayer or financial support, because we couldn't have done this without all of you.
So, what's next? I am so glad you asked!
Amazingly, as of today we may have more money than needed for the shoes, and that will just help us launch our major project that is highest on the list of priorities. We need to help get a well at Lesibovu and through Change Their Story, we believe we can reach our goal of $5,000. That would be a great start toward the total of $22,000 needed for this project. That total sounds huge, but God has proven Himself faithful through the shoe project. We raised the needed $3,700 in just over three weeks! We have over five weeks to raise $5,000. Can you be part of this great investment? It is a tax deductible donation that will have lifelong benefit to hundreds of people. You can read and give here.
We are thankful for you and how you've partnered with us already. If you haven't given yet, please consider doing so now. If a family member has asked what they can give you for Christmas, would you consider a gift for Lesibovu in your honor? We want to the change the story of these people in a dramatic way, that is life sustaining and can only do it if God blesses our efforts through all of us.
Matthew 10:42
And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones
who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not
lose their reward.
