Gathering Toys for Orphans

We are so very excited to get to spend a few days at an orphanage on this outreach (see our team and us below). God has been burdening our hearts with His love for these children that He created. There are around 25 children in this orphanage. We have planned a 3 day VBS for these kids and have all kinds of special activities, projects, songs, and games planned for them. It will be exciting for them for sure! We are now gathering supplies for the VBS and gifts to leave with the children when we leave. Your small gifts will mean the world to these kids who have so little!

A special project
that God has laid on our hearts has us excited. Many orphans have few or no photos of themeselves during their childhood. You can imagine what that must be like as they grow older. So we are going to take a backdrop and set up a small "studio" and take individual photos of each child. Then we are going to print out the photos and have the children make "All About Me" booklets where they paste in the photos and write their favorite things in the book. They will have this to keep for themselves.
