Fourth Grade Missionaries

Early lessons in missionary work are a blessing. This Sunday School class at Advent Presbyterian Church has prayed for Casa Hogar MAMi, for church members who travel there, and the needs of the children and Sister Elma. They knew that a prayer request was to raise money for the construction of the second floor and that the Mexican government had offered to match the amount of $20,000 promised from the USA. The only money making idea that occurred to them was a lemonade stand! They did this as a special project on Mother's Day and gave cards that they colored saying, "Happy Mother's Day, a donation was made in your honor to Casa MAMi MX". The response was truly overwhelming. God used these children to raise the awareness in the church of the casa hogar and the congregation responded generously! Advent Vacation Bible School will, for the second year in a row, collect an offering for Casa MAMi MX. One of the greatest blessings from this is that young children are experiencing the joy of giving in Jesus' name!
