Recently we got this AMAZING news...
Great, you say... a matching grant... it's pretty cool! It's a great time to give, for sure.
What's better than having your gift DOUBLED?
Well, to me... the Kingdom work being multiplied by YOUR dollars simply can't fit into a mathematical equation.
To me, this means more than a match... it's more than dollars being multiplied.
It's LIFE CHANGE.
It means that I can look at JoNAtHAN, in Baby class and say that next year, he won't have to sit on the ground outside... in the rain... or crowd with 252 kids bigger than he is into a small space to eat in a dry spot.
It means that I can confidently look at the double orphan on the street who desperately wants to come to school and say "yes, next year we will have the classroom space to add a class for YOU."
It means that the boys, who live on campus, can experience what it would be like to live in a home....
It means that I can look at 22 GRADE 7's and say... "Lifesong is here to FINISH WHAT WE'VE STARTED... we will be able to continue educating, discipling, and training you through graduation."
The kids sing a song here that says
"He give's me joy-O, He give's me peace-O, everything He gives is double...everything is double double."
This match means so much more than double to our team... it means continued growth in ministry. It means that we can continue being about what God brought us here to do. It means that the children who have been abandoned and forgotten in the past, won't have to feel that way again, simply because of a lack of financial support. It means "buying" more time for God to continue working in the hearts and minds of the children Lifesong has been pouring into for the past 6 years. God simply isn't finished with them... and we don't want to let them go due to lack of space.
I rarely ask for things on this blog... but I'm asking you to consider joining Lifesong in raising funds to help with our match! This isn't our personal support... this is directly going to the needs of growth at our school. Each and EVERY dollar will be going to construct the necessary buildings we are mandated to have in order to grow through grade 12 with our current students. I PROMISE your dollars will be MORE THAN DOUBLED by investing in the lives of these very special children...
