Little Things Make All The Difference
Have you ever wondered if your donations to this ministry are actually making a difference? Especially when you only have a “small” one to give? Well here is one of the beauties about the countries we work in…our U.S. dollar goes a long way! Look at this list for an example of how things in Uganda and Kenya compare to the United States:

Amazing isn’t it?! Just one dollar here can go so far there. Would you consider joining our 5.4.1. Campaign where just $5 a week will make a BIG difference in the life of 1 of those we serve? You could give up a movie ($10), a latte ($4), a value meal ($7), or any host of comfort items just 4 times a month to help us give life improving gifts to those in need. Gifts like food, housing, and medical care. Gifts that are far more valuable than the thing we may choose to give up.
“When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required.” Luke 12:48
“Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.” Luke 8:8
