Lots of Hoots, and Lots of Boots!

Well, you guys did it!  You gave a lot of hoot(s) and purchased a lot of boots!!  Thank you so very much.  I can't even begin to list all who donated, but I know there were a lot of kind hearts.  Hearts for Jesus!  The project netted more than expected which has allowed Grace Home and Greenland children's homes to not only get "gum boots" but closed toed shoes, and umbrellas.  (There is still money left to help another children's home get 10 pair of boots, and still have some SSP (South Sudanese Pounds) for any emergent boot needs!)  These boots and shoes will have a dramatic impact on the children's lives during this rainy season.  The will for sure be more safe and comfortable.  The children dig gardens, walk to school and church, go outside to use the latrine and to go eat.  On a clear, dry day flip flops are fine, but it isn't always clear and dry.  Snake bites are a big threat this time of year, so the extra protection on their feet may even help prevent an unnecessary death.  You rock!!

Paul and James said we need to pay attention to one another's spiritual and physical life.  I believe you just did that for these children.  You have sent them a lot of care and love. Thank you!

If you would still like to contribute to the purchase of boots for the children or to this ministry click on The Mission Society link.  Under missionary enter my name, and or # 3080 to give a secure, tax deductible contribution.  The boot project is just one of several things you would be contributing to.  I starting a women's prison ministry that currently has more needs than I can elaborate here.  But for a small glimpse they have no blankets, no jackets, and they get a small portion of beans (only beans!) each day.  So all that you feel led to help with will go directly to this ministry.  Your support is appreciated and I know you will be blessed for being a part of it.  We are in this mission for the Kingdom together!  God bless you!
