passion2011 part 2

Because I don't feel like writing today...here is more from our recent trip to Atlanta...


Gungor

Two sessions with Beth Moore...a-ma-zing.

Passion2011 wasn't just about speakers and music...but about doing something now about the poverty and injustice around the world. As Passion puts it...Though none of us alone can tackle the massive injustice and poverty that shatters so many, together we are a force for good that exponentially increases our opportunity to life those in need. 

Goal: $75,000 for 15 wells in villages in India
Given: 24 wells

Goal: Feed 1,000 at risk children in South Africa for one year 
(this comes out to a grand total of $50,000 needed. $50 feeds one child for one year)
Given: enough money was donated to feed 2,225 children in South Africa for an entire year


Our group of 11 was able to donate enough money to feed 8 children for an entire year...we prayed for the children and then wrote messages to them on the red bowls that they use to eat



Rescue & Restore Women from Human Trafficking
Goal: Restoration and a future for 10 girls trapped in sex slavery in Bolivia at a cost of $36,000
Given: enough money to rescue and restore 22 girls

Homes for Haiti
Goal: raise enough money to build 15 homes in Haiti at $54,000
Given: enough money was raised to build 39 homes in Haiti
