Hello, friends!
A few weeks ago, at the Urbana global missions conference, 16,000 students had a chance to partner with World Vision to create medical kits to help caregivers in Swaziland as they minister to Aids victims. In just 2 hours, we created 32,000 kits, full of things like gloves, hand sanitizer, and other necessities that otherwise would be unavailable to these caregivers.
One of our Mizzou students was so inspired by the act that he committed to putting together 50 kits of his own to help in the cause. Instead of making this a solo mission, we have decided to make this an ACF "all-play." The rest of this semester will include a number of opportunities for students and the community to help us reach our goal.
Each kit costs $22 to fill and send, meaning that our goal is to raise $1100 by April 1. It seems like a large task, but we are up to the challenge. We have 2 students working hard on putting together a campaign that will let ACFers and non-ACFers alike take part in this life changing act.
Here are a few ways you can help:
BAKE: If you live in the Columbia area, we would love to invite you to participate in our bake sale, happening from 11-2 at the Mizzou Student Center. You can either bake something delicious to sell, join us the day of to help sell baked goods, or both! If you are interested, you can email me here.
PRAY: Please be praying for us. Pray not only for the funds but also that this will be a life transforming experience for the students. Pray that ACFers and the entire Mizzou community will be inspired to stand up and do something for Jesus.
GIVE: You can also give directly to our campaign. Whether it is $5 or $500, any amount goes a long way toward making this dream a reality. If you are interested in giving, you can email me and I will get you the information you need.
Have an excellent day!
