Our Special Project

For the Christmas season at our corps, we did a special Lord's Dollar Project ("The Lord's Dollar" is a special offering we collect monthly for missions). In this case, we collected money every SonDay during our services throughout November and December. The intent was to use the collected funds to purchase items from a World Vision Gift Catalog. The items provide a person, a family or even a community with much needed survival materials. For instance, $75 provides a goat; $135 a treadle pump; $400 a camel, etc.

And now the drum roll please . . . We raised $1,350! We are totally excited!

With these funds, we purchased 2 Oxen with a Plow,


A Cow,

And a Sewing Machine.

World Vision provides their catalog online, so if you'd like to take a look around it, please go to www.worldvision.org.

You can also sponsor a child you choose by picture for only $30 a month. We've been sponsoring Miriam in Mexico for the last few years and it has been fun watching her grow (via pictures).

This SonDay, we are going to have a special "adopt a child" day and encourage individuals to take this wonderful opportunity.

Sponsoring children is a great way to get involved in missions work. It really puts a personal touch to your self-denial dollars. The Salvation Army also provides opportunities to sponsor. Why not get involved today?
