Around the end of last year I tossed out a challenge to my niece and nephew. They live right outside of Little Rock and I don't get to see them enough so I challenged them:
"You guys raise 50 cans of formula for the foundation and I'll drive out to get them and hang out with ya!Well - fast forward 40 days and let me just say this - Laura, Meron and I returned home today with a truck full of formula. Over $4,000 worth of it!
My niece took the challenge to the youth at her church - who partnered up with adult classes and turned it into a competition. Here's just a sampling of what they accomplished:
These kids basically just fed 3 orphans 5 meals a day for over a year!enough dry formula to make 41,140 ounces of liquid formula that is roughly 6,857 6 oz. bottles At 5 bottles per day - that is enough food for 1,371 DAYS!!
I think I need to repeat that... These kids basically just fed 3 orphans 5 meals a day for over a year!
Ansley, Will and the rest of the incredible kids at First United Methodist Church in Conway, AR - we love you! You guys deserve a huge round of applause!
You've been an inspiration to us and it has been a huge blessing to partner with you on this! May God bless you guys for stepping out in faith and following His lead!
