Our big kids are involved in a wonderful organization called Leadership Link. \u00c2\u00a0The two homeschooling women who began this group desired to help build up the homeschoolers in our community by teaching them to be Godly leaders. \u00c2\u00a0Part of that comes from the service projects that LL puts on each year.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, was Guinness for Ghana<\/span> – a day of games (centered around the Guinness Book of world records theme), a Ghanian market full of foods and crafts to purchase, a dance\/drama presentation, and crafts for the little ones. \u00c2\u00a0It was an awesome time, and all for an amazing ministry called The Fathers House <\/span> – a home built by the Garrett family for 8 boys (so far!) who have been rescued from a life of slave labor in Ghana, Africa. \u00c2\u00a0Read more about this at www.fathershouseghana.com<\/p>\n

I didn’t take many pictures, I was too busy trying to chase after Dylan! \u00c2\u00a0Lainey and Dylan were too young for the Guinness games, but they had fun crafts for the 5 and under group. \u00c2\u00a0A local ice cream shop donated ice cream buckets and the kids turned them into African drums.<\/p>\n

They did a great job…Abbey was smiling the whole time.<\/p>\n

Dylan enjoying one of our purchases….ALL the proceeds from everything sold went directly to The Father’s House. \u00c2\u00a0Members of Leadership Link made crafts, foods, etc to sell. \u00c2\u00a0Even our local Chic-fil-a donated all of his profits!<\/p>\n

Yes, all 6 kids are in the picture. \u00c2\u00a0I can only find 5 of them though!<\/p>\n

A closer shot of the one I couldn’t find! \u00c2\u00a0Can’t wait to find out how much was raised for these boys in Ghana! \u00c2\u00a0God calls us to serve and help those less fortunate, and Leadership Link is a wonderful way to get our kids OUT there doing God’s work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
