Our Most Ambitious Goal Yet...

Have you ever felt God place something on your heart so strongly you couldn’t ignore it?
That’s exactly what happened when we were reviewing last year’s back-to-school campaign for our children in Kenya.
Generous donors like you equipped 160 children with uniforms, shoes, and supplies....
...but we felt this unmistakable calling that we’re meant to help so many more.
So, we made a decision that probably sounds a little crazy...
We’re doubling our goal this year.
You read that right! Instead of $4,000, we’re aiming for $8,000 to help 320 children (out of our 500+) start school with dignity and confidence.
But we can’t do this without your help.
Is it ambitious? Absolutely. Is it necessary? 100%.
Here’s the thing
We believe with our whole hearts that God doesn’t place these burdens on us without also providing the means.
We are looking for those people who are hearing the same call to make a difference.
When you provide a uniform and school supplies, you create a beautiful transformation - just like watching a butterfly emerge from its chrysalis.
Your gift helps a child unfold their wings of confidence and soar toward their potential!
Here’s what your gift can provide:
$20 = Buys one year’s supply of mosquito nets for one child
$40 = Sends one child to school
$80 = Sends two children to school
$160 = Sends four children to school
$320 = Sends eight children to school
But here’s the deadline we’re working against: September 23rd.
That’s when school supplies need to be purchased and uniforms need to be fitted.
You might be thinking... “Daniel and Mary Beth, there are SO many worthy causes out there right now.”
You’re absolutely right. And we would never pressure you to give beyond what feels right.
But if you feel that tug from the Holy Spirit about equipping these vulnerable African children for success... your response might just be the divine confirmation we've been praying for!
How incredibly exciting is that?!
Will you give a gift to send a child to school today?
When you give a child the dignity of a new uniform and school supplies, you'll experience that rare, butterfly-moment joy that comes from knowing you've helped transform a life from hesitation to confidence.
Stepping boldly into this God-sized vision for our children,
Dr. Daniel & Mary Beth Gilbert
