“I started a project to raise money for Aids orphans and needy children in Zimbabwe, Africa 3-4 years ago. The money is used to pay for the school fees for the children. Without payment of the school fees these children would be unable to attend school. The amount of $10 can easily send 3 children to school for 1 year in Zimbabwe.
This year pastor Brian Runge of Houston came across your project and decided to use it in the school (St. Mark Lutheran in Houston) of which he is school pastor and whose school my children used to attend.
Some of the children of St. Mark Lutheran voluntarily gave their money that you sent them to my African school project. They raised a total of around $1,500 which when combined with the money that I had raised made a total of around $1,800.
When I received this information in an email from Pastor Brian Runge I cried uncontrollably for 10 minutes and even now while writing this I find it difficult to control my emotions and the tears of joy come again.
I wanted to write to you and thank you for your project and I pray that you would be blessed in it. I pray also that the blessing of God would rest upon those who contribute to your Ten Commandments project.
Know that you have made a difference in Houston TX and in Africa and be blessed.” |
