Orphange update

There is much news about the orphanage. A team of Americans (supposedly) went to the village and took some of the children saying the would provide them with education. I have no idea where the children were taken. Please pray for them.
Many of the older children's guardians have not allowed them to go back to school. They are using them to do chores or beg for money. The teachers have been going into the village to try and talk the guardians into letting them come back to school. Please pray for them


I have received pictures an letters from the children. I posted one, I am now known as Mammy Sandra Gannon.
To Mammy Sandra Gannon
How are you mammy?
I love you so much.
Thank you for helping me.
God bless you.
Yours

Orphanage update

The Orphanage is progressing, but the cost is more than expected. We need to raise another $5,500 to complete it. This is going to be a challenge in this economy.
We are planning another arts and craft fair the middle of April. I have purchased some really unique necklaces from one of the members of the Jesus Power Church; they are really beautiful.
The Sunday School Program at TCC is going to be learning about personal sacrifice to benefit others. During lent the children are going to be asked to give up a snack or desert and to save the money. The money will go towards meals for the children at the Christian Mission academy.
We are hoping to raise enough money for 3,300 meal. (1 meal for each child for 1 month
@ .18 cents a meal)
ALL DONATIONS WELCOMED

Orphanage - Update

While the school is coming along slowly. The rainy season has slowed the progress down considerably. The children should be attending their new school in a couple of month. I am still waiting for pictures and updates. When I receive them I will post them.

Changing the World

Together we can change the world!
If we ask God!
April 9th , Maundy Thursday – April 10th, Good Friday
Our Father in Heaven sent his only son to live among us to be an example to us, and to save us from our sins. While on earth he gave us a prayer to say that is an incredibly powerful prayer.
Our Father who are in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
They Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,
Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;
Lead us not into temptation and deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever.
AMEN
Can you imagine what would happen if all of the Christians in the world (2.1 billion people)were praying this prayer at the same time!!!! Let Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven! Can you imagine?
Our Father in Heaven says “For whenever 2 or more are gathered in my name I am there also.” Matthew 18:20. If the world is asking in ONE large voice I believe we would see the end of the world as we know it! I believe HEAVEN ON EARTH would happen.

I am hoping and praying that this message and request will make it around the world in time to have this happen!
If Christians filled the churches on April 9th Maundy Thursday and celebrated the last supper together, then stayed awake with Jesus praying the Lords Prayer in one loud voice every hour until Friday at 3:00 pm. I truly believe our Father in Heaven would hear our prayer and the world would change.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON PLEASE ASK YOUR CHURCH TO PARTICIPATE!

Orphans- Christmas Party

While we did it we raise $200.00 for the Orphans Christmas Party. They will be having their celebration tomorrow. It is at their new school. They will have a dinner which will include soda and presents for all 110 children. Pastor Frank promises pictures which I will post when I receive them.

The Orphans Christmas Celebration

The original plans for the Orphans Christmas celebration had to be changed. Pastor Frank has had many challenges in the past couple of month he was in a car accident, he and 2 of his children battled malaria and Todd Douglas Leon his baby had tumors removed.
We did raise $200.00 this money will provide a meal for the children and purchase a small gift for each of them. Pastor Frank is going to bring the Childrens choir from JPC to the Orphans Christmas celebration. They will celebrate at the new school. I hopefully will be receiving picture and letters from the students soon.
I will keep you all posted!

Do we know its Christmas

While preparing for Christmas this weekend, I became painfully aware that here in the US, Christ is not in Christmas.
I tried to find Christmas cards with a nativity scene none to be found.
I tried to find small boxed Nativity scenes for the Samaritans shoe box presents none to be found.
I tried to find The Christmas story book to send to Little Steven in Uganda.
I tried to find Advent Candles -12 stores later I found a set.
I am really saddened by the commercialism that has taken over this Holy holiday.
