The year was 2011. To quote a movie that was filmed in our favorite state of Iowa, "If you build it, they will come!". We have big goals. So the orphanage was built. And the children were rescued. And then the school was opened and children enrolled for a much sought after education. And then the medical center was put back together and the sick received aid. And then a lunch program at school was implemented and they enrolled by the hundreds and had at least one meal a day. We have big goals and God willing, we will continue to help those that cannot help themselves. But the needs are many and money is continually needed to grow these programs.
The holidays are the perfect time to think about donating to a cause that will truly change lives and also to take a step back and be reminded of the true gift of Christmas, our Savior. Most of us have everything we need and more. We aren't worried about where our next meal will come from or if we can find a doctor for our children. To whom much is given, much is expected. (Luke 12:48). Please consider providing your loved ones with an "Alternative Gift" this year for the holidays. A gift of food for the orphanage for the day, the salary of a teacher for a month or worm prevention medicine for hundreds of children with sick tummies. Instead of an apple, why not get your school teachers the gift of feeding 20 students a lunch for the day in CAR? Wow! There are so many options for your family to start a new tradition of giving, continue an old tradition of giving to our king, or just to pay love forward this Christmas.
