We live in a country of opportunities. Most of us don't have to worry about having clean water or our next meal. Have you ever considered those who are not living here? Have you considered that a child dies of starvation or a preventable disease every five seconds? Have you ever considered that given knowledge, people can and usually will make a difference in this and future generations? What are you doing to impact the world? Wanna make a difference?
Now you have a chance to make a difference and a chance to play in the past. Our good friend, Eric, has devoted hours of time, dedication, and love to creating a custom full size video arcade capable of playing over 8,000 games. Reconnect with your youth; remember games like Frogger, PacMan, Donkey Kong and so much more- including many newer games as well. Show your kids that you really can play with the best of them. The best part is, ITS FOR A GREAT CAUSE! Here is your chance to WIN A FULL SIZE ARCADE for your very own. $20 gets you a chance to win. The more money you invest, the more chances you have to win. But, more than that, your $20 (or more if you want more chances) will hopefully show people half-way around the world that they are loved and they matter. Child or adult, EVERYONE deserves to be loved.
There will be a raffle drawing to win this arcade on July 9th at 7pm . The drawing will be recording with a link put on here as quickly as we can after the drawing.
So you may be asking.... “Where is the money going”? Eric has graciously donated his “labor of love” to the team of 9 from Preston Trail Community Church going to Uganda in July. All proceeds will be donated to the mission.
The first initiative of this mission is to show the love of Christ to others. There are several ways this team will be engaged while in Uganda. First, they will provide a teaching, training, and coaching conference for church and community leaders in Uganda through a ministry called www.Hesedinternational.org. The past conferences have been a huge success. We hope to be able to continue with our past success and continue to build meaningful relationships with the local church and community leaders there. It has been really exciting to see how God’s work is spreading there.
Second, they will serve in conjunction with the Foodstep group www.Kampiringisa.org at Rehabilitation Center for children. Their mission: “Touching the lives of children unfairly and unjustly imprisoned. Giving a hopeful future to former child prisoners in a loving home”. They provide medical care, spiritual guidance, worship, teaching and loving to children that are considered there to be the outcasts of society. Their hope is to pour into these children and show them the love of Christ. The founder of Foodstep in Uganda has been able to sponsor children to be released from the prison into her care. There they receive food clothing, shelter, schooling, but most importantly they receive the message that they are precious and special to God. This team will also have the privilege of loving on and encouraging these children and their care-takers. The teams work with Foodstep has expanded this year so we are excited to see how that relationship continues to grow with our partners there.
