And the Students Respond

Once again, the students of Grace have stepped up and filled a need! We requested that they bring in items for the "Haiti Baby Shower" and they responded! We received about 20 Wal-Mart bags full of blankets, clothes, formula, wipes, Pedialyte and other items that are a necessity for young children.

While many small groups went together and purchased things, we had one student, Erika H., that had her mom post the flyer at work, and received several bags of items from her moms co-workers, and also pitched in and bought a bag full of clothes and other items with her own money!

We also had one student, Naomi F., that took the time to make a few blankets for the children in Haiti. Here is a photo of one of her blankets (taken with my cell phone, sorry for the poor quality)

And as we were wrapping up this evening at small groups, I received a text from a student that was not at church because of illness, but wanted to make sure she could still get her items on the truck!

What an example these students have been to those around them! And I pray that these items will bring hope in the name of Jesus to those still suffering in Haiti.
