How many times have I gone to Target and bought something that I could have done without?
Too many.
$10 here. $10 there.
What do I have to show for it? A wallet? Some makeup? A shirt I really don't need that's on clearance?
This past Sunday at church, my eyes were opened to some sweet children that could use my money so much more than I need a new shirt.
My church is partnering with New Life Home Trust in Nairobi, Kenya to help change the lives of 10 special needs orphans. I won't go into all of the details because the video does an amazing job.
Go ahead...I'll give you about 5 minutes to watch it.
Wasn't it worth the 5 minutes? Did you catch how much needs to be raised to get these 10 children a room of their very own? $75,000. $7,500/room - in case you are a little rusty on your math skills. That's a big number, but not too big for our God.

So, this is where you come in...
You probably don't go to my church, but I thought you might be interested in being a part of this effort. Money will be collected until the end of 2011.
I want to challenge you to give $10.
There are no iPads, jewelry, or gift cards to be won for a random giver.
Just the satisfaction of knowing that you are doing something for 10 kids over in Kenya.
If you have a blog, would you be so kind as to post this button on the side of your blog so others can hear about it too? Thanks!
