A Little Means A Lot

Brent and I have been moved by mission work in Uganda called Empower A Child. Our prayer is for these future leaders of Uganda to be educated as well as be exposed to the Good News that we sometimes take for granted living in America.

What led us here? A realization that we might get to the end of our lives with a nice house, a comfortable 401K, and a life that missed out on God's best because we were too caught up on our lives to care for others, as he commanded.


*Do not just listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves, DO what it says- James 1:22
*Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you- Phil. 3:17
*Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. Matt. 28: 19-20
* This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome. 1 John 5:3

My reason for posting this is to ask you to GET INVOLVED- If you want to be in the center of God's will, GO where God is!!! Empower A Child is currently building a training center and needs the money to house these kids, teach them, and feed them.

The total cost of the building is $600,000 and they will raise money brick by brick, dollar by dollar! Be a part of something bigger than yourself... don't go out to eat just one time this month and make a difference in Uganda! Click HERE to donate $25 (225 bricks!!!).

I know every time I post something about 100 people read this... together, we could potentially give $2500! I also know that when I get asked to support a cause, I roll my eyes and delete thinking someone else will do it... but what if they don't?
