I had the privilege and unique opportunity to meet some of
the Mountain Café kids. For those who
don’t know what Mountain Café kids are, let me explain. A while back, Mountain used to spend money to
provide donuts to our congregation following weekend church services. While we
all loved partaking in donuts, the child sponsorship team suggested giving up
the donuts and the decision was made to invest that money on an ongoing basis
to sponsor 12 kids in Kenya. Changing
the lives of these kids is WAY more important than eating donuts that we don’t
even need. There is a statistic that
says for every one child that is sponsored, 30 lives are impacted (the child’s
family, friends, and community). This
means that 360 live have been impacted for the Kingdom of God simply by giving
up eating donuts.
Pictured below are three of the Mountain Café kids that all
attend the Joska girl’s boarding school.
I sat with these three beautiful girls and had a chance to share with
them the story of how they became sponsored by our church. They were amazed and so appreciative that we
would give up something in order to provide them a chance to be educated. They said that they felt encouraged by
Mountains support and wanted me to share with Mountain their sincere gratitude
and love. When asked how our church can
be praying for them, they asked for us to pray for their education so they can
prosper and achieve their dreams, and for transformation to become better
followers of Jesus. Please pray for
these girls as they are part of our church family!
