Heather and I are headed back to Kenya in September! That’s just 2 short months away and we realizedthat we are a little behind in our normal trip planning!!! AGH! But we know that with God all things are impossible! While our planning and preparation time may be less than usual, we trust that we will meet our goals because we have awesome friends and family who are generous and love being a part of these exciting trips with us! Read this newsletter to see just a few highlights of the impact we are making across the globe! How can you not want to be a part of this? ☺
Since time is of the essence, I’m going to go straight to the point here…
First, we need FUNDS!!! ☺ We usually have a bank of generous donations that we use for various needs that God brings to our attention while we are there. While, we do not try to solve every problem with money, there are always so many needs we come across and we often feel led to help certain people/situations. It’s such a blessing to be able to do that and report back to our generous donors where the funds were used with daily updates/pictures/stories! These are often heartbreaking stories that we get to speak life, hope and love into. Seriously, always my favorite part of each trip! Our goal is $2000 each for these needs ($4000 total).
Secondly, we asked the team this week how we could bless our sponsored children when we are there. In the past, we’ve brought a few balls (or purchased highly overpriced balls there) and the kids share them enthusiastically, but the balls usually pop pretty quickly since there’s no futbol fields and so many children using them. I found a non-profit that has created futbols that don’t pop and they are only $25 a piece when bought in bulk! www.oneworldplayproject.com I’m working on a campaign page for this but in the meantime, would you consider sponsoring a ball? Our goal is 75 balls! Give Joy. Give Balls!!!!
Lastly, our team is in need of equipment to continue operating at the level we need them to. We are in desperate need of a new motorbike ($2500) and our team needs new Iphones (6). We will gladly take new or used (but in great condition) Iphones 7, 8 or newer. What a blessing this would be for them to receive these!
I know we are asking a lot of our generous partners, but their needs are great. And it’s especially wonderful to bless others (like we’ve been blessed) above all they can ask or imagine. Please join us in giving JOY this year!
