$20 for change

Hello all,
 
For this project some friends and I got together and formed a group. We combined our money, added a little to it, and were able to do a couple of neat things for God's kingdom. The first thing that we did was donate some money to Dr. Diers who is raising money for the Raining Season. The Raining Season is an organization that Dr. Diers' friend works with, and it is working on building an orphanage in Sierra Leone. So the money that we donated will go to the children's education, food, clothing, and shelter. With the rest of our money we went shopping for gift things for a nursing home in Pella. We had lots of fun looking for things at the Dollar Tree and then putting the items together. Also for this we printed off Bible verses and put them on neat paper so that the residents could hang them on their bulletin boards. We made up a little package for each of the residents and we will be going to deliver them Wednesday Dec. 2. We also put together some things together for an auction that the nursing home residents do. We enjoyed doing all of these things and hope that they will help others know of God's love for them.
