Children

If you are a supporter who doesn't attend Eternal, I'd like to share the blessing we witnessed yesterday. Eternal's kids have collected money throughout the entire month of April to help support our mission to Guatemala. They called this the "Month of Change". Some kids emptied their piggy banks, others set up lemonade stands to raise money (see pictures below). Our kids found some creative ways to help raise money!

Yesterday during our Sunday morning service, the children came forward and put the change they had collected all together in a big bucket. I'm encouraged to see our kids learning how to give at such a young age. It's an encouragement to us that they are participating in this mission trip with us!

We can't wait to see how much they've raised. This week, the Levetts will be counting and rolling the change for us. Jack & Holly are really excited to help. Thank you to all the kids who contributed and to Jack & Holly for helping count the money. Thank you parents for encouraging your children to participate and give selflessly. What a blessing!
