Our family collectively received $25 on our Live a Better Story Sunday. We had no difficulty deciding on a ministry to support. We chose Operation Hope, a marvelous before-and-after-school program for disadvantaged children in Jackson. We did have difficulty deciding on a way to increase the money we had received. But after several days, we came up with a plan.
We purchased baking items and nice wrapping paper, baked chocholate chip cookie bars for several days, and wrapped huge cookie bars in nice foil wrapping. Then we went to a Lambuth soccer game and sold the bars to the spectators. We had only about two left after a half-hour of selling.
Just yesterday (October 11) we brought a check for $75 to Operation Hope. We learned of new developments in their ministry and how they are taking real steps of faith to expand what they do. The director couldn't have been more enthused to receive the money. We left feeling that we had invested in a ministry that is truly making a difference in the name of Jesus Christ.
BTW - Lambuth won the soccer game.
