The children of Beveni waiting for sponsors

Of the 102 vulnerable and orphaned children being cared for at the Beveni Carepoint, 13 are still waiting for sponsors. The sponsorship relationship means Hope to these kids! If you or anyone you know are interested in learning more about how to become Hope to one of these, His little kids, and part of a large sponsorship faith community caring for the people of Beveni, please contact me at bevenicarepoint@comcast.net.

There is Joy in obeying Him!

14 cents a meal.....SWAP IT weekend!

Brandi is another passionate and committed orphan care advocate being used by God to care for orphans in Uganda through the ministry work of Children's HopeChest. She traveled there this spring and saw the devastation of starvation. She has started a campaign to raise funds to buy food for these precious kids. Look at these numbers and determine if you can help:

$0.14 will provide 1 meal
$2.86 will feed someone for 20 days
$1 will feed a family
$20 will feed a family for 20 days

You can read more about it on her blog: http://www.brandisthoughts.com/2009/06/swap-it.html She has included a link at the upper right hand corner of her post that says: Click Here to Give Now that will take you to HopeChest's donation page. Likewise, you can go there directly at https://secure.pursuantgroup.net/pursuant4/hopechest/chcselect/donation.asp.

Please be certain to use the "notes" section to write in "Feed the Forgotten".

Do you want to travel to Beveni?

The Beveni Carepoint sponsorship community has grown to be a large and diverse group. With nearly 75% of the children sponsored and some infrastructure construction projects ready to begin, I thought it would be a good time to invite communication about traveling to Beveni as a community.


So my first question is: who would be interested in travel to Beveni within the next 12 months? You can answer via FB or email. This is a “show of hands” moment to gauge interest, not necessarily commitment. I would like to hear from you, particularly those who are interested in going in the next week.


Here is some basic information that may help you in considering the question:

1) The cost of hotel, food and ground transportation is between $1000 and $1300 for a week; airfare is currently between $1200 and $1600, but depends on the time of year that travel takes place. These are estimates only!!!!

2) There are different activities the team can be involved in, ranging from work projects, house visits, life skills training, VBS, caring for the caregivers and disciplers, in addition to loving on the children! If you have skills you would like to use to serve the Beveni children and adults with, let me know!

3) The trip is typically 10-12 days longs including 2 travel days for each direction.


I look forward to hearing from you! You can email me at bevenicarepoint@comcast.net or message me via FB.


In Him, with faith!
