Jacket Project

The Jacket Project was a big hit. Maria was excited when she saw the pile of sixty-five jackets. It was cold the first night so Maria, Kathy, Brad and I began handing them out to the children. We took our time and worked to make sure that the coats fit the children, and I was pleased with how well they were fitting each child. The next day we noticed that the jackets didn’t fit as well as we had thought the night before, and I was surprised to see that some sleeves were way too short. It didn’t take long to figure out that the children were having a wonderful time trading jackets! We got some great pictures and I’m looking forward for the children at church to be able to see their generosity in action.

  1. That is SO wonderful. It's very evident that God has been putting all of the pieces together for His purpose! Karen is wondering if you and Brad would come in and speak to the Kid's Choir on a Sunday night about your trip? The kid's would love to hear and see what you've been doing there. Let us know. Continuing to pray for you - Kristyn (& John)

  2. The jackets look so good! I had visions of you giving the children wrinkled clothes because they were packed so tightly in the bags. It will be so much fun to show pictures to the children at church so they can see that God uses all ages.
