June 15 through June 19, 2015, North Shelby Baptist Church held their annual VBS (Vacation Bible School).
As a sweet surprise to us, North Shelby Baptist committed to donating any offerings collected throughout the week to one of Grace Klein Community’s partner ministries, Kwathu Children’s Home.
On Monday, June 15th, Natalie Spronk had the opportunity of briefly sharing with the children about Kwathu and their current goals for the building progress. The children were fired up and excited to be a part of raising funding to support orphaned and vulnerable children in Africa. They most certainly got their thinking caps on and thought of creative ways to help raise support.
Two little girls made a lemonade stand and raised $80. Two other girls sold picture frames, that they had personally made, and raised $50. Two little boys went door to door asking their neighbors to help and they raised $40. Many other children decided to donate all their money from their piggy banks to help raise more funding. Many children shared how they have a home and they wanted other children to have a place to live too!
In total, the children at North Shelby Baptist Church raised $1748.22! Along with table sales from various items from our online Etsy Store, as well as additional donations given after the total count, nearly $2000 was raised in one week.
Overwhelmed by the beautiful hearts of these young children to give!
We’re so thankful to North Shelby Baptist Church for financially blessing Kwathu Children’s Home!
