Praise Him!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday some of our friends donated money.  One of the families  has six kids and her husband does not have a job.  So it was a very big sacrifice for them to give me $200.  (thank you so much!!!!) Thank you to everybody for buying my shirts or donating.  I can't tell you how thankful I am!!!!!!  Just think you are saving a life in Africa!!!!!!!!  Today I was invited to  go to Faith promise church and set up a table to talk to people about the orphans of Africa.  Praise God!!!!!!!!!!!!  I had a slide show that helped a lot for the people to be able to see the kids faces.  (thanks mom!!!!!!!)  I raised $436!!!!!!!! I can't believe it!!!!! We serve an awesome God!!!!!!  Thank you Faith promise for letting me come!!!!!!  From our friends I got $320 altogether!!!!!!!! Praise Him!!!!!   The other day I found a bookmark that says God will bless those who serve.  It really hit me the last two days  God will provide everything I need to take to the orphans.  I don't have to worry about anything because I know God will provide!!! And I hope you know that too.

For our Helen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A family from our church had a garage sale. Every time they have a garage sale their daughter raises money for a charity. last year she raised money for Haiti. This year she wanted to sell water and give the money to me. ( Thank you so much Grace!!!!!) She would chase the people around the sale with the water and they had to buy some!!! I got at least $33 maybe more. Every single coin counts!!!! I can't say how thankful I am!!!!

Orphans

I am trying to raise money to feed the orphans, medical supplies, drill a well and help the street children. If you would like to help me, the street children need shoes and clothes. These can be donated. If you want to help drill the well and feed the orphans all you have to do is purchase a shirt. Will YOU help me help the Orphans?

My shirts are $15 or buy 3, get 1 free. All money will go to feeding the orphans in the orphanages when we travel. Right now, they eat 1 meal a day. I am going to buy food for the street children while we are there, too. They live on the streets with no parents.

To purchase a shirt, contact me at kotasgo@hotmail.com or leave a comment here. We just got a new shipment in so don't miss out on your shirt. Please help me help the orphans of Ghana.

Water equals life

Here is a little story out of the book causelife



Food wasn't enough

Our Guatemalan partner traveled many hours to arrive at the mountain village of Chastutu. He knew a child there was close to death. As he made his way through the village he heard a woman crying from inside one of the shacks. He knew ha was too late. As he entered the home, the mother was holding her baby daughter's body with tears in her eyes. There was nothing he could except offer to bury the baby for her mother. But she was not ready to give up her daughter yet. In the end, she held her baby for six hours. He was patient and when she was ready, he buried the baby and held a small service.

This baby girl had access to food, but she died of malnutrition. Very simply, food wasn't enough. Food wasn't enough when dirty water caused her to get trapped in a cycle of sickness that eventually claimed her life.

every year 860,000 child deaths from malnutrition could be prevented by providing clean water.



There is a village in Ghana that has no clean water. I am trying to drill them a well. Right now they share water with the animals because of this they are very sick. They have stomach sicknesses. You can help me get them clean water by buying one of my shirts or making a tax deductible donation on my blog.
If you would like to buy a shirt contact me at kotasgo@hotmail.com
