Time to mention those un-mentionables...

Want to help us show love to the boys of Kolfe??
Joy and I would love to fill our suitcases
with some practical love for these boys.
130+ boys who need what your kids and
my (American) kids never even think about. 
SOCKS,
White UNDIES,
sizes kids' 8 - men's medium
Colored BOXERS
(for the older teens... men's small and medium)
AND DEODORANT
I know, I know...
African's don't always care about the stink factor...
 but... we are working on hygine with these boys,
and what teenage boy wouldn't benefit
from the gift of deodorant??
Seriously... I have a 12 year old boy in my home...
Here's the deal... 
we are still waiting on word of WHEN
we are going, but we know...
 we ARE going, and if we go this summer,
we will likely be gone within a week of
hearing there is a child to escort back....
SOOOOO...  we need to start collecting NOW,
 to be ready THEN!
   If you don't feel that God is calling
you to GO to Kolfe,
then ask God if He is calling you to SEND us...
 with our arms and suitcases loaded down
with a tangible gifts of caring
for 130 of the 147 MILLION orphans
 that God HAS NOT FORGOTTEN!

Now, that's not to say that we won't be
taking some fun things as well...
how excited would your kids be to open a
gift of underwear on Christmas morning...
Yeah, wha-ho!  Right? 
So the hope is that we will have money left
 to bring some things like CHOCOLATE,
and some sporting equipment too...  Please pray!!!
If you gather things for us to take,
you can drop it off at homes in
Chandler, Gilbert and Queen Creek,
or we can arrange a time to swing by and pick it up!
