What difference can a little change make?
The Answer: A BIG DIFFERENCE!
When our family set out on deputation 7 months ago, there were many things that we desired to accomplish. As most of you know, one of our ministry goals is to start Haven of Hope Children’s Home. With that thought in mind, the Lord put a project on my wife’s heart. We put the project together and called it “Changing the Lives of Children”. To sum it up, we are passing out change jars and asking individuals to drop their spare change in them. To be honest, at the start, I doubted something like this would work. It just proves to me again how little I understand the power of God! I am writing today to simply give an update on the project.
Let me begin by saying this is not a typing error or misprint! As of today, we have passed out 535 change jars. That in itself would be simply amazing! However, that is not the news that I am reporting today. I wanted to let everyone who prays for a family know that God hears and answers prayers. To the glory of God alone, may I report that today, August 17th, the “Changing The Lives of Children” Fund exceeded the $10,000 mark!!!!! Yes, that is a one and four zeros! Jar by jar, VBS by VBS, individual by individual, and family by family God has brought in ten thousand dollars toward the Haven of Hope project. PRAISE THE LORD! There was a $1000 dollar donation given by Eric McClure and the #24 Nationwide Hefty Racing Team. Other than that, 100% has been raised through change jars and VBS offerings. We simply want to say thank you to everyone who is helping in this project. Our family is now believing that God is going to have all the funds we need for the home raised before we even depart for Peru.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your change is making a Big Difference. Please continue to put your spare change in the Haven of Hope Jar. Our prayer remains the same, that God will allow us to build our children’s home from pocket change!
