BABY KITS for
Church World Service
Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
At Green Lake the American Baptist
Women were told by Lisa Rothenberger of the ABCUSA WORLD RELIEF OFFICE
of an urgent need for BABY KITS for Church
World Service. This need has been forwarded to me as your
missions and service coordinator for Wisconsin by Janet Hogan, our
National Mission and Service Coordinator. You may contact her at bradwinjanet@comcast.net
with your questions or concerns.
Church World Service depends on groups
like us to help them provide health kits, baby kits, and cleaning
kits in times of need, such as the war in Lebanon. They currently
do not have enough BABY KITS to supply the requests they are receiving!
Since
we have missionaries working in Lebanon in the midst of war and destruction,
let us not only be praying for the Daniel and Sarah Chetti's safety,
but also doing our part to supply a need that I am sure is touching
the refugees that now live at the school compound.
Either a CASH donation of $39.00
per kit, or the kits with a $2.00 processing fee would be greatly
appreciated and should be sent to CHURCH WORLD SERVICE, not
to ABCUSA.
You may get more information from
www.churchworldservice.org,
but I am including the instructions they sent out to help you get
started.
BABY KIT to include
Wrap items inside one of the receiving
blankets and secure with diaper pins.
Pack "Gift of the Heart"
kits in boxes with only one type of kit per box.
Complete the Kit
Coupon* available at their site and enclose a copy in each
box before sealing.
Indicate the type of kit CLEARLY
on the outside of the box
Secure the boxes with packing tape
Ship prepared kits to:
Please include BOTH the box and street
address on the boxes
May God guide our response to this
great need, remembering that as we do it unto one of the least of
these our brothers and sisters, we do it unto Christ.
In God's service.
Mary Jeffries,
Wisconsin ABWomen's Mission and Service Coordinator
