Tonight, we discussed this project. Our goal, as a ministry, is to over the next 4 weeks raise enough money to pay for 20 orphans to have medical attention for the next year. On average, each child costs about $3,500 for one year. We are also helping 7 families adopt a child, matching Show Hope's donation of $4,500 per family. All in all, we are trying to raise about $100,000 between now and Spring Break in order to help these kids out.
That wasn't the part that got me. My heart has had a passion for orphans for a long time. The part that got me was seeing other people fueled up for this, and my fire being rekindled. Y'all, 7% of the people that profess they are a Christian adopted one child, the orphan problem in the ENTIRE WORLD would be gone. 7%!
I am so excited to see what God is going to do through the campus I love and a passion that I love in the next few weeks!
