Exactly one year ago, the children of Grace Community Church in Roswell, New Mexico attended VBS (Vacation Bible School) and raised over $800 to repair a building at Amazing Grace Children's Home. During that VBS they wrote letters and made necklaces for the children of AGCH.
This year the children of Grace Community Church received personal letters from the children at AGCH, heard the call for funds to purchase land for AGCH and they stepped up to the challenge. Over four days of VBS the children of Grace Community Church raised over $1100..........in quarters!!
Thursday night after the performance, the children were able to get their parents to raise another $400, which brought the grand total to $1500!!!
Thus the campaign to raise the necessary funds has begun. The children of Grace Community Church have set the bar and challenge the rest of the Lahash Community to step up and step out in faith as we proceed to our goal of $10,000 by December 2010.
We are so thankful to be a part of Grace and their ministries. Not only do they provide a wonderful opportunity for the kids of the Pecos Valley to attend VBS, but they raise money to help other kids! Everyone Wins!
