Our congregation recently hosted a vist from the Children of the World international children's choir, a ministry of World Help. Composed of 15 children from Nepal, Uganda and the Philippines, the group shared in both morning worship services, then did a full concert in the evening. The children did a beautiful job, on all three occasions, of sharing the joy and peace they have through knowing Christ as Lord and Savior.
But I want you to know, too, of the response of the people of Old North Church. By day's end, 61 children around the world had received sponsors. Beyond that, an offering of over $8,000 was received to help fund clean water in Africa. At a monthly sponsorship of $30/month, that's a total of $30,000 given/pledged over the next 12 months--in just one day!
Way to go Old North! That kind of generosity and dedication to making a difference across the street and around the world will pay rich dividends in lives saved and souls won to Christ. Keep up the good work!
