A thankful HEART!

A quick update on Emma's FUNDRAISING efforts....

She has raised over $300 in the past 10 days!!

In Emma's own words, 

seeing people support her trip makes her feel.... 

Excited

Happy

Glad

Tearful

It's ...Cool!

What an amazing picture of trusting God to provide.  

Thank you for being a visible part of that lesson in Emma's

 life these past few days!

We are blessed beyond measure

as we daily TRUST God to provide the needed funds for our trip.

On to Project #2!

I am always amazed (but really shouldn't be) at how God answers prayers almost before they are out of my mouth!!

In my last post announcing our

Build Hope - Kenya 2012 trip in July,

I mentioned that we would be taking

lots of donations for the kids in Kenya.  

The first thing we were asking for was back-packs

filled with winter things and sports stuff for the kids.

Within a DAY...

someone stepped up to supply

all 250 needed!

How awesome that a church in Ft. Wayne, IN is taking

on this project as a service opportunity for their

kids' sports program.  They are challenging their kids to

fill the backpacks with supplies and lots of love!

LOVE.

LOVE.LOVE.

how our God works out EVERY detail!

So...now on to Project #2

Our Build Hope - Kenya 2012 trip

is geared around

sports & games.

We are planning to build a playground

for the kids at Fiwagoh and take lots of 

'sporting equipment'.

But...

we would also like to take lots of GAMES

for them to learn and play

when they can't be outside on the playground.

With all the holiday sales going on...

I thought I would put it out there that we are

collecting new BOARD GAMES.

So if you see one of the following on sale

and want to pick it up to donate - 

the kids in Kenya would be ever so grateful!!

Here is the list:

Candy Land

Chutes & Ladders

Sorry

Scrabble

Parcheesi

Mastermind

Checkers

Chess

Twister

Dominoes

Connect 4

Othello

Memory

Trouble

Sequence

Jenga

Guess Who?

Thank you for your continued prayers and support as we

move forward planning for this trip.

Our team is starting to fill and we are watching as

God is moving in so many ways.

It will take many hands, many dollars,

many prayers, and many hearts loving on orphans

to make a difference in this world!!

Loving this journey....
