Say hello to some of the greatest kids EVER! These are a handful of faithful, compassionate students at Sand Creek Intermediate. They are members of our Fellowship of Christian Students that meets every other Tuesday morning of the school year. This year's theme was "The Fruit of the Spirit" and boy did they take their lessons to heart.************************************************************
Back in February I had the opportunity to share my mission trip to Nicaragua with our FCS group. We decided as a team we would help raise money for the family that Doug and I sponsor through the Nicaragua Resource Network (NRN). The students held a fundraising walk before school and in 20 minutes, these 5th and 6th graders raised $503.50.
************************************************************
As a family, Doug and I have pledged to match the amount they have raised, $503.50. We have decided that living a life of excess isn't in our family's best interest. We will be cleaning out closets, our attic and garage and posting items on Craig's List, EBay and may even hold a garage sale to raise our portion of the donation contribution.
************************************************************
Our challenge to you, our friends and family, is to help us raise an additional $503.50 in the next 2 weeks. We are attending the annual NRN Fundraising Gala on Thursday May 20th. We would love nothing more than to present a total donation of $1,500 to NRN supporting our sponsor family in providing them the opportunity to complete their home, receive medical and dental care and continue their children's education.
************************************************************
Please pray about this and decide as a family if you want to become part of a group of individuals committed to making the world a better place one family at a time. This is a wonderful opportunity to get your children involved in helping other children globally. If you live locally, cash is accepted. Checks can be made payable to NRN and sent to our home address. If you do not have our home address, you can email us at reusserfamily@sbcglobal.net
