Shoes


A couple of weeks ago I challenged our students to step up and take care of some orphans that were in desperate need of new shoes. Can you imagine? I must be an idiot to ask American students to care enough about orphans in another country to actually make a difference. I could tell you what happened...but I will let a letter from my father do the talking.

Dear Rock Creek Students,

I just wanted to say thank you for your overwhelming gift of $1,500 to purchase shoes and clothing for our orphans in Kenya. These kids seldom get anything new. When they do, it comes from God through people like you.
I wish you could see the faces of these kids when they discover that they are getting new shoes. There is no way to describe their joy and grattitude to God for how he meets their needs. For some...a few months ago they were sleeping in the ditch by the roadside. Tonight they are warm, well-fed, and loved...because of God.
I will take some pictures and send them to Jason so can share them with you. Pray for Teresa and i as we carry the love of God to people who feel they have been forgotten.

By Grace, Your Brother,
Mike Curry
Ephesians 6:19-20
