I was blown away this week by the generosity of my former colleagues and the primary students at East Canton Elementary. In collaboration with a service learning project of Malone College, the teachers and students collected school supplies for our kids and bulletin board decorations for me. The Malone team arrived on Friday with 3 seventy pound suitcases full of school supplies! My friend, Chris and her sister had also gathered art supplies, flipflops, and pool toys to fill a fourth suitcase. Knowing that so many people are thinking, praying, and so generously supporting the ministry to our children is overwhelming. Thank you is not enough for the time and effort you put into this project. We pray that God blesses you abundantly for this special blessing.
Our ministry strives to share the love of Jesus with abused, neglected, and abandoned children in southern Brazil. If you would like to support our ministry, please send contributions to First Friends Church, 5455 Market Avenue North, Canton, Ohio 44714 (for tax purposes, please attach a note `for the Cochrans`).
"And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time, we shall reap if we do not grow weary." Galations 6:9
