They will be blessed....

DONE!!!!!
Super excited to announce that we have reached the goal for the KOLFE Genna Meal!!! (Ethiopian Christmas, January 7th)  Thank you to all of you who either supported this financially, or prayed us through.  If you would still like to donate, Gladney will use any extra to pay for the Genna meal at Kechene. (The girls' orphanage.)  Directions on how to donate can be found HERE.

Donating to the Kolfe Christmas Meal....

We made some changes today...
Our friends at Gladney
would like to provide
(as they have done in the past)
a meal for the boys at Kolfe.
What they don't have
is the funds to do this.
That's where we all come in...
They will handle the purchasing of the food,
and have staff there on
Ethiopian Christmas (January 7th)
to ensure that
this all runs smoothly.
We had gotten the promise of sheep from a organization in Addis, but turning this over to Gladney, the boys will likely be eating Ox instead.  Which they prefer. :o)
I will be turning all of our donations
over to them on Friday.
(After giving donors the chance to change their donations,
 and get a tax credit from Gladney instead.  If you have
 already donated, I will be contacting you.)
Gladney is expecting their costs
to run at $1,200. 
(That's more than we had estimated,
but I have told them we will do
all we can to help them get this done.)

If you would like to make
a tax-deductible donation
 to the
Kolfe Ethiopian Christmas Meal,
please follow these steps...
(It's easy, I promise!)

Ethiopia Humanitarian Aid
on the envelope and

on the check.

Cheerful giving... is so much fun!

Alrighty... I am not going to update the total here, until the money has actually been donated. (sometimes people forget) That being said, I am getting really excited about the verbals that are coming in... Yea God!!!!  Hearts are being moved, and the boys will be blessed!!  So exciting!!!

Luke 6:38 (NIV)

"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

Pretty sure that DOES NOT mean that giving money to this project, or any other, will mean you get money back as a blessing... but I am sure that God loves a cheerful giver, and blesses with joy when we act out on His heart for those in need.  God has so blessed us, and it sure is fun to share that with others!!!  Thank you so much!!!

Christmas Dinner for Kolfe

This is the standard, day in,
day out meal for the boys of Kolfe.
This is what you are served
at a restaurant in Ethiopia.
Notice a difference?
So do I.
Growing boys, who don't get a lot of nutrients.
But, I am pretty sure we can change that...
for one meal this holiday season.
We are teaming up with some friends to provide
a meal for the boys during this season of Christ.
 - - - - - -
  This is what I want this year for Christmas.
I don't want THINGS to sit on a shelf,
or hang in my closet...
I want FOOD... for them.
Are you blessed to be a blessing to
these precious children this season?
Want to get involved? 
Message me, and bless them.
