1. Our local World Bible School teachers had noticed a need for Bibles in the country of Zimbabwe. So, they decided to do a fundraiser to buy Bibles and send them to their students there. My parents and I were recruited to assist with the effort due to our time in Africa and our extensive work with World Bible School. So on Sunday, April 27th, my Mom and I spoke to the kids class during church service. We educated them about the country of Zimbabwe and of the need there. The kids were challenged to raise money for the effort during the month of May. During the month of June, the adults were challenged to bring in donations and support the church's coffee bar.
Here is my Mom speaking to the kids. We brought in a lot of African artifacts for them to look at and play with. Unfortunately, my Mom told the kids that ostrich eggs are very durable and can withstand a lot of things. One little girl decided to put the egg to the test and threw it against the brick wall--needless to say it completely shattered. Oops! :)
Here are the WBS workers: Jon Preskorn, Me, Shawn (on my back), Mom, and Kathy Preskorn
Shawn tied on like a true African baby. I was SO nervous that he was going to fall off--but he had a great time!
