Here we go!

For the past couple of months, my kids have been very adamant about giving Bibles to kids that don't have any.  We have discussed it in great detail, as I want this to be THEIR project.  After many questions and ideas, they have decided what our first steps are going to be.

  • They want to bless kids with Bibles in different countries since many of them don't have Bibles in their own language.
  • Our first donation will go to kids at St. Jean Baptiste School in Haiti.  Our church has a team that goes there 2 times a year, so they thought that would be a good place to start.  This first trip, we are going to bless all of the 6 graders with new Bibles.
  • We are going to collect donations so we can continue to support different schools in different areas so more children have the chance to learn about God.
    • Our first approach at this is just by telling people what we are doing and asking for donations.  The kids made a flyer that they can hand out to their friends.

So, those are the basics.

This past weekend, we gathered our piggy banks and took all of our change to the bank and opened a bank account where we can save money for more donations.

If you feel like contributing, please hit the donate button on the right of your screen.  You can also write a check made out to Melissa Larson.  100% of all donations will go towards the purchase of Bibles.
