Lets Love on the Children in East Asia

Leslie Overby at LifePoint Church, along with her team, are heading out for East Asia in just a few weeks. They will be spending time with a group of special needs children in a foster home there. They have also been invited by a couple of schools to provide a children's program and spend time in classrooms practicing English with students. Let’s help them be the arms of Jesus by contributing some small things that we probably have at home or can pick up at Wal-Mart for under $5.00.

Ask your small group members, friends, family & co-workers if they have anything they want to contribute. Serving others as a group will unite your members. It creates great memories & is a great opportunity to grow together.

Here are the basics of what they need:

plastic Easter Eggs
prewrapped candy (for Eggs)
dumdum suckers
chocolate eggs
McDonald's type toys (NEW & small, please)
glitter glue
googly eyes
pipe cleaners
crayons
foam shapes
coloring books
misc. craft supplies or kits
stickers
suckers
beef Jerky
Lowery's seasoning salt
kipper snacks (herring in a can)
over-the-counter Children's meds

Items need to be dropped off at LifePoint ASAP. You can take them directly to Leslie Overby in the administrative offices. They are taking pediatric wheel chairs & a few other large items, so they’ll need to pack up supply cases SOON in order maximize space.

Email me with any questions at krystal-brown@comcast.net

Thank you for ALL you do!
