The fatherless

The t- shirts will probably be back tomorrow then I will ship them out.

A couple days ago I felt like we needed to do more than we are doing and that we needed to go to Africa now. Today my mom felt the same way. I know we are supposed to do something else. I am praying for GOD to tell me. My ultimate goal is to raise as much money as possible for the orphans, but my first goal is $1,000. Help me help the orphans by buying my t-shirts or donating. You can also pray and tell others about the mission God has given me.

Father's Day is coming up. Buy your father a shirt. You could help a fatherless child.

Thank you!!!

Thank you SO much!!! I have made $615 so far. Again thank you SO much!!!!!! remember to post the love is not a color video. I'll draw the winner Monday.

Someone hurt me last night. She asked if I would be scared when my brother and sister come home because they are black. I said no. Then she said well I would be scared. Love is not a color, that's what my mom said. God said we will be persecuted for following Him. He called us to adopt and care for the orphans. That's what we're going to do no matter what.

Evah

back

front



We went to the Children of the World International Choir. It was so, so cool. They sang a little bit in their language . Then they told their stories. One little girl was abandoned when she was five. They put her in a dumpster. Now she is seven and adorable. Her name is Evah. She lives in Katawe, Uganda. Check out causelife.org. They are trying to drill wells. Clean water can save lots of lives. Around the world, 6,ooo children die each day from waterborne illnesses. That's like 20 jumbo jets crashing every day. People would think that's awful, but no one thinks about this. These are the type of children I am trying to reach with the money I raise from my t-shirts. Please spread the word about what I am trying to do. All the money I raise from the t-shirts will go to the orphans.

The shirts are $15 each or buy 3 get 1 free.
Child sizes: xsmall (2-4), small (6-8), medium (10-12), large (14-16), xlarge (16-18)
Adult sizes: small, medium, large, xlarge, 2x, 3x, 4x

You can pay on my donate button or send a check. Thank you sooooo much for supporting me!

Abandoned and abused

It is a miracle that baby Lisa survived. She was left to an alcoholic aunt after her mom abandoned her. The aunt rejected her, mistreated her and would leave her alone for long periods of time. One night, neighbors were repairing a car and heard a child screaming. They found the abandoned child locked in the house alone. Another time, the baby was left by the aunt at a business where alcohol is sold. At 16 months old, she was dying of malnutrition and was very small. But she now has hope. The World Help child sponsorship program works to help children like Lisa grow and learn in an environment full of God's compassionate love.

BE A VOICE OF HOPE HELP CHANGE THE WORLD ONE CHILD AT A TIME


I copied this out of a book but I wanted to share the story.

Every child deserves a home

This is one of our favorite songs. What can you do to help every child have a home? Even if you can't adopt you can help other people.

Praise God

This is amos story by Aaron Ivey what do you think?






adoption story

My vision is to feed the orphans and provide medical supplies. The money I raise from the t-shirts will be the start. We are adopting a boy and a girl from Ghana, West Africa. We should be traveling very soon to pick them up. Our whole family will be traveling to Ghana including my two younger brothers. The money I raise from the t-shirt will help buy supplies for the orphans when we go there.

I prayed for a sister for three years then my parents felt called to adopt. So we were going to adopt 1 child. Then we felt called to adopt two kids and the next day Helen and Samuel came up for adoption. My dad was sick that day and we had prayed that God would show us our kids. So when my dad saw those kids he started crying but he didn't know why. Now we wait for our court date. I am SO excited. I used to watch adoption videos all day long and read adoption blogs. Now I am finally getting a sister, but God gave us a brother too.

These t-shirts are just the beginning of my vision. God gave me a vision of our family standing in front of a building that said "God's House" on top. There were lots of orphans standing with us. I'm going to find a way for them to be fed and have their medical supplies when I'm not there. Please pray for me.

Here are the details of my shirt. When I get the final design I will post it.

Front:

outline of Africa

inside: Why should we eat like kings and queens when they have nothing?




Back:

Malaria kills more than 2,000 children each day.

More than 2,500 children die each day from water-borne illnesses

20% of Africa’s children die before age 5

33% of children in sub-Saharan Africa are underweight

A child dies every minute of measles in sub-Saharan Africa

There are 15 million HIV/AIDS orphans in Africa

41% of sub-Saharan Africans live on less than $1 per day


It doesn’t have to be this way. You can make a difference.
