As
many of you know, the first year we participated in this project our
children worked hard to raise the money they did...which was no small
sum of several hundred dollars! WE
then had some members of our congregation who gave Christmas gifts
from the Heifer catalog -- Imagine getting a llama for Christmas! Then,
we had another member of the congregation commit to matching whatever
was raised. The result was an ark...over $5000 given to this wonderful
organization. With that money they were able to send animals to over
30 families around the world...all from one little church in Decatur,
Texas.
We’ve now supported this worthy project Heifer for
three years and we’ve bought an ARK each year.
Each family that
receives livestock from the Gift Ark will pass on one or more of the
animal's offspring to other families who are in need in their
community.
