Welcome to day 1 of MAD for Mission . . . goes to the Sudan. Today we learned that life in the Sudan is very hard for children . . . that many children live in refugee camps where they have only their basic needs met . . . and that many come to the United States and other countries to be educated so that they can be a voice for hope and peace in their country. We learned, most of all, that God loves everyone in the world and that God wants us to love everyone in the world. And that out of that love comes our help for them. Sooooo. . . today we started making school kits that will be sent around the world to children in need through UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) and we started a collection to build a fishpond in Sudan that will help people have food to eat. We were reminded by the story of the loaves and the fishes that no gift we have is EVER too small for God!
