Father's Day- a gift of giving
Father's Day is right around the corner. If you are like me, I struggle to find the "right" gift for my dad. This year we'll be blessing our dads with a gift from the heart, the gift of shoes.... no, not for them... the shoes are for a child in Ethiopia.
Grace Baptist, sponsored by Children's HopeChest, is a care-point for orphaned and impoverished children. Through the support of sponsors, Grace Baptist is able to provide food, clothing, education and Christian discipleship! However, the children have many other needs. One pressing need is shoes.
Tracy, a sponsor mom, and her brother are professionally printing and mailing out Father's Day cards to benefit the children at our care point, Grace Baptist, in Kombolcha, Ethiopia. The printing and postage is being donated! Your monetary gift will be presented to Grace Baptist and will go to purchase new shoes for all the children. One pair of shoes costs $18.
Go to Tracy's blog to send a card to your dad.

Kombolcha
I cannot believe we are home! A week ago today we were handing out care packages to children at Grace Baptist Church in Kombolcha. The children were so excited to see us, spend time with us, to "talk" to us.
There were several things we noticed about the children. First, they were delighted to see us. They wanted hugs, they wanted to touch us, they wanted to connect with us.
We had a wonderful time with the children.
As we spent time with the children we noticed that underneath the joy, there was a need for some basic items:
proper footwear
and proper clothing:

They loved playing with the jump ropes and soccer balls we brought. Thank you sponsor families who helped purchase these items!!

Our current fundraising event is with Sami- her blog is little goody2-shoes. Sami has raised half the amount needed for the 175 children in the sponsorship program. She is 12 years old and making a HUGE impact. Check out her blog and her necklaces! She's currently hosting a giveaway- it's free to enter.
