Children Serving a Bigger Cause: Feed the Children
Tonight is the last night of VBS and I just wanted to drop a quick update. Doing this week the children have learned to serve others and they have done this by doing various service projects. The children have made trail mix for emergency personnel, potted plants, made bookmarks for prison ministry, made shirts, soccer jerseys and personal pillow cases for the children at Faith Home in Honduras. Also, we have had a penny war each night with the girls winning two nights and the boys only winning one night so far. If the boys win tonight, then it will be a draw. However, the money raised will go to Feed the Children and the total amount raised will be match by an anonymous giver. So, I'm asking you to please help the boys be victorious tonight by going to the bottom of this post and donating you pennies or by Twittering this "P $1 @H2OKITS". Please help us reach our goal of feeding 300 children for 1 month. God bless.
Original Post:
I'm going to switch gears today and talk about something beside "water" and something that is dear to my heart. We all know that clean, safe drinking water is the must important substance to sustain life and the second most important element would be - food! Most of us are spoiled, in that we get three or more meals per day. Americans are so spoiled that a majority of us are over weight. Unfortunately, there are children that will die of starvation before you can read this entire post and just $10.00 would have fed that child for one month - 30 plus days! Think about the cost of your last meal.
My wife and I are very involved with Vacation Bible School (VBS) at our church ( First Baptist Church of Williamstown) and each year we have a service project that the kids raise money for. This year the service project is Feed the Children. At VBS, we teach the children a very simple core principal, to serve others like Jesus did. The children raise money be have a penny war, boys versus the girls, to see which group brings in the most pennies each night of VBS. The winner is determined by the most weight of pennies. Also, the children are given more information pertaining to the cause they are supporting and each night they will do an activity that will positively impact someone else, ultimately learning to love others as they love themselves and to have a servant heart.
So, in order to help the boys win the penny war (I have 3 boys) and to help Feed the Children, I'm asking all my twitter followers to tip me $1.00 before June 18, 2009. At the time of writing this post, I had 297 followers on Twitter. So, if each follower tipped $1.00 that would equal $297.00 which would feed over 29 children for one month. That also would be 29,700 pennies which would greatly help the boys smoke the girls. What's a dollar - but when 297 or 500 or even 1,000 people give a dollar - now that's making a difference. Help me to show these kiddos how two or more influences have a greater impact.

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research about this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I am very glad to see such great information being shared freely out there.

I was reading something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your perspective on it is diametrically opposed to what I read to begin with. I am still mulling over the various points of view, but I'm leaning heavily toward yours. And no matter, that's what is so super about modern democracy and the marketplace of ideas on-line.
