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....
