Dear Sweet Sleep,
We are thrilled to able to send you the enclosed
check for $2,643.00 towards the purchase of mosquito nets for children around
the world.
During our Fall Semester here at First Hurst, our
3 year olds-6th graders participate in Missions Programs: Mission
Friends (for preschoolers), Girls in Grace (for 1-6th grade girls)
and BiG DawGs (for 1-6th grade boys). Our desire is to disciple kids in their walk
with Christ, and to help them discover the unique gifts and talents God has
given them. We then teach them of local
and global missions and encourage them to begin using those gifts to serve God
by serving others.
Each year, we have an event to help raise funds
for missions. After attending Centrikid
Camp last year, and learning about Sweet Sleep, we knew that this was something
we wanted our kids to participate in.
We promoted the Nickels for Nets program and the kids were very excited
about it. Our grade school aged kids
asked people to sponsor them in one of two events: Walking or running laps around the park or
shooting hoops. Our preschoolers
participated by bringing a nickel to class each week, and then walking with us
at the Nickels for Nets event. On
October 28, our kids completed their mission by walking and shooting
hoops. They then collected their pledges
which were enough to provide almost 320 nets!
We hope that you are blessed by the efforts of our
kids, but we pray that the money will bless the lives of those kids who receive
the mosquito nets! May they hear the
gospel message and may their lives be impacted for eternity!
Thanks for your ministry. Thank you for the opportunity to partner with
you in blessing kids around the world!
To God be the glory!
God bless,
Deni Morrow
