April 13th, during our 9:30 am service, Immanuel WELCA will be collecting the red barns for our ELCA Good Gifts overseas mission. If you have a red barn please bring it on that day with your donation. Please give from your heart to help those who live in poverty all of their lives. A little can do so much! ELCA Good Gifts provides more than 50 different gift-giving options that grow the church, fight hunger and transform lives.
$10 = 10 chicks (when they are just months old, these chicks begin laying eggs, which
make nutritious, protein-rich meals for families who are hungry. The
many extra eggs are often enough to allow a family to start a small
business by selling them for additional income.)
$30 = pig (A pig in the pen is like money in the bank. Within months, a tiny piglet grows to weigh over 200 pounds!
Should a family have a failed harvest, medical expense or other
unexpected financial need, this pig can be sold for much-needed cash at
the market.
$50 = goat (Fresh milk from a goat
provides great nutrition for children who are growing. And as goats
multiply in number, families often share the offspring with neighbors in
need, helping lift entire communities out of hunger and poverty.)
$10 = mosquito net for a family of 4 (To most of us in the United States, mosquitoes are nothing more than a nuisance. But in many countries in Africa, just one bite from an infected mosquito could transmit malaria and lead to death.
A bed net treated with long-lasting insecticide, coupled with training
and education on how it is used, helps ensure that families are
protected from this life-threatening disease as they sleep.)
$10 = pair of shoes for a child to wear to school
