“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen”-Ephesians 3:20-21
Can you believe it? Give Amore just celebrated our eight (8) year anniversary!!! Over 13 years ago, I donated plastic chairs to a school in Kenya. That’s how ALL THIS started! That turned into sponsoring one child, then another, then another and another, and another which stirred in me a desire to go to Kenya in 2012 which stirred in me a desire to really affect change and transformation in the communities we serve.
It’s truly incredible when you think about all God has been able to accomplish because I was willing to be the voice for our brother and sisters across the globe and I have waited with expectation (and sometimes with fear) for Him to stir in the hearts of others to join me over the years! I never could have imagined what Give Amore could accomplish through a work-from-home busy mama, a laptop, social media. God put the rest together in such an incredible way!
A dear friend created this video as a recap of 2022 that I wanted to make sure everyone sees!
This is just summarizing last year but not ALL the we’ve done! If I tried to list it, I’d be here for days and days. The impact for His kingdom that we are having is immeasurable! I believe we will only get to see all that we’ve been a part of when we meet Jesus and He says “Well done my good and faithful servant”. How amazing will that be?
As we start on our 9th year in ministry, we have 2 major needs at this time…
Our sponsorship program is in need of multiple sponsors. In fact, we really need to DOUBLE our support for this incredible program. The sponsorship costs have been going up steadily for years, yet the cost of sponsorship has stayed the same. We’re in the negative. We need an additional $3000 per month to break even for 2023.
I would desperately like to get back to Kenya in May of 2023! That’s right around the corner! I’m looking for a partner (or two) that would like to join me on an incredible trip of a lifetime! I truly am my BEST self when I’m there and long to be with our amazing team and community that are like family to me! I estimate the price of the trip to be around $3500-$4000 for 10-14 days. I’m somewhat flexible with dates, but would love to share this experience with someone else that God stirs to go! Pray about it please and reach out with any questions!
Again, I find myself waiting with expectation on God’s provisions. It’s all His. In His timing. His people. He loves us and has plans to give us hope and a future! I’m so thankful for the front row seat I have to witness all this goodness.
In His Love,
