Love cheerfully ministers to those in need.
Our 5th graders attend YMCA’s Camp Classen for 3 days every year. We were able to provide every item on the packing list for one of our students. He got to go to Target and pick out a sleeping bag, new clothes, two new pair of comfortable shoes for hiking, new toiletry items and snacks to take with him. For him, this was a trip he will never forget!
We were able to provide 2 pairs of shoes for 2 of the students going to Camp Classen. The students go on 1+ mile hikes every day, and it was wonderful that we were able to provide them with shoes that would enable them to do this! Both of these students never thought they would be able to make the hikes, but were met at the top of a mountain with cheers and high-fives from their classmates! It was an unforgettable moment!
We are in the process of doing an inventory with our Village kids (Kids in need) to see which ones will need cold weather clothing and winter coats. It’s such a blessing to know that when these needs are brought to us, we will be able to confidently meet the need!
How much more will FATHER minister to the needs and desires of those who joyfully give!
