Hi fb community,

A friend challenged me to help her rethink Lent. Normally, we give up something for this holy season leading up to Easter. She encouraged me to think about “taking something on” for Lent. How about saving lives this holy season? Brooke Roberts Rn is preparing for a medical mission to Kenya. Her passion is to help the poor of Africa.

Brooke needs to raise 2100 dollars by February 28th. And then another 2500 by April. Now, here is the good news…she has already raised 1365 dollars.

So this week our prayer is that 635 dollars will come in to send Brooke to Africa. Here is the simplicity. If each of my fb community gives a tax deductable gift of 3 dollars…children are touched in Africa.

Here is how you can support this medical mission to save children:

Pray

Go online to http://www.openarmsinternational.com/ follow the links to give a tax deductable donation and mention Brooke Roberts in the comment section before February 28.

Purchase one of her original watercolors of African children she photographed on a previous mission. Her portraits have sold for 800 dollars each. Check out the blog at glenmaiden.com to see her work from the Africa Collection.

Finally, let’s do something different for the Easter Season, you know rather than giving up stuff, and the usual consumer mentality…let’s save children for Lent.
