This post is not going to be related to a gluten free lifestyle, but I wanted to do my part to spread the word about this amazing ministry that was presented to me the other day. Proverbs 31:8 "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves".
I went to eat lunch with my sister-in-law and she had a really cute shirt on that said 147 million orphans. I was asking her about the 147 million orphan ministry and as we were talking about it at Chick-Fil-A right behind us came one of the founders of the program and her beautiful kids. I felt like this was God's way of opening up my eyes to the conditions in Uganda, and the number of orphans in the world. 147 million orphans raises money for families who want to adopt, it supports feeding programs, and each purchase goes towards feeding a child in the poverty stricken countries like Uganda. They offer shirts, hats, and necklaces. Visit here to find out more 147 Million Orphans
Katie is a young 21 year old girl that decided to go to Uganda, and ended up staying and adopting 14 Ugandan girls. Katie has started a school, and a feeding program feeding 1200 people in Uganda.
After reading Katie's blog, I am moved to tears after seeing how much she has given up, and steped out of her comfort zone to answer Gods calling. She has not only taken in 14 young girls to raise and love, she has taught the women of the village how to make necklaces with beads out of magazine paper. The necklaces are then sold here in America at many locations in Nashville and the money is sent back to the ladies. She is not only feeding these people but teaching them a trade to provide income for their families. You might not be able to adopt a child, or spend time in Uganda but support the cause by purchasing items or donating to support this God centered ministry.
