Mulligan Stew 2014

The news was horrible!!

 

Almost as soon as I hit send last Friday on my blogpost, FEEDING 400 ORPHANS, fighting broke out in the very area where the camps will be held.

 

People died.

 

Most of them were not citizens of that country.  They were instigators.  Terrorists. There to stir up trouble. And trouble came. 

 

I e-mailed the ministry team.

 

What are you going to do?

 

They are pressing forward.

 

 

And I am standing beside them in full support.  The Lord opened a door for 600 orphans to go to camp this summer and come rain or snow or hail or WAR - those kids are going to camp!! Unless the Lord closes the door - they are pressing forward.

 

200 children have already been sponsored.

 

400 children are left.

 

It's a MULLIGAN STEW.

 

 

We have gathered a potful of ingredients in the hopes that many will be fed.

 

60 prizes have been donated for our stew.

 

400 children have been invited to our table.

 

 

FOUR HUNDRED MOUTHS TO FEED.

 

Each one so very precious and of great value.

 

 

Orphans.

 

I've been on my knees for weeks now.  $24,000 is a lot of money.  This is just one tiny blog.  I am not feeling very brave or strong or mighty.  I'm trembling. 

 

 

 

But then I see pictures from the camp last year.  Where 250 children were able to run and play free.  And I just can't turn away. Despite how big this seems.

 

 

 

All I can do is share the need.

 

 

 

 

 

And Pray!

 

 

 

 

The children going to camp are living in orphanages and institutes and internats from villages outside the city.  They are the poorest of the poor.  They are going because God opened this door. 

 

They will arrive at the camp without a toothbrush or a comb or a sleeping bag or pillow.  No Mama to pack their clothes.  No Papa to hug them one last time before they get on the bus.  They will come with just the clothes on their back. 

 

 

Orphans.

 

Typical and special needs.  Older teens. Little ones.

 

This is their opportunity to get away.  To be children.  To laugh.  To run.  To play.  To sing.  To listen to stories about Jesus.  To be surrounded by volunteers who are there for the sole purpose of loving on them. Most of the children will have never ever experienced a camp like this.  It will be a totally new and amazing experience and honestly - I wish with all of my heart that I could be there to see them and love on them! 

 

 

 

 

 

I can't be there but I can help make it possible.

 

Come rain or shine or war in their very backyard... these babes are going to camp!! 

 

Here it is...

 

Our Mulligan Stew.

 

Our goal - Raise $24,000 so that 400 children can go to camp.

 

Each child needs $60.00.
