Feed a child for $1.50 a day

You can feed a child for less than you would pay for your morning coffee. It costs 45 baht for a child in the Agape Children Orphanage to eat 3 full meals. That converts into about $1.50 a day. Can you spare $1.50 a day and go without your morning coffee so a child can eat 3 full meals every day? That's $45.00 a month. We pay more than that on a pair of pants. If we sacrifice only a little bit of the things that we place such an importance on a child can eat every day for a full month. To me that's more important than buying that new pair of pants or getting my morning coffee. So the next time you sit down for your coffee in the morning please think about the 130 children who live in the Agape Children Orphanage, who truly know what it means to completely trust God to supply their every need.

If you would like to donate, please contact me and I will tell you how- mustangandrea@cox.net

I'm going to print up a flyer so that if anyone here at the office wants to give, they'll know exactly how much that cup of coffee they have every morning is actually worth! To think that we could save a child for a month just by not drinking coffee!

Coffee at Starbucks for a medium regular is $1.85. It's hard to believe that one coffee is equal to more than 3 meals in another country. What a wealthy country we live in. Will be sending some money shortly. Say hello to Pastor and his family and to all the children in the class that sang to me.
