Cambodia and BGMC update


BGMC Update

Well, the boys and girls were in a neck and neck race this past Sunday. Literally. They both gave the exact same amount of money to BGMC - $25.05! Woohoo! The current running total is: BOYS - $44.40 and GIRLS - $106.90. The girls are still winning, but it's not too late for the boys! I love that each of these kids are giving so willingly to the Lord. This week we'll talk about how it's really all God's money anyway. He decides to give it to us, and the best thing we can do is give it back to Him. If you didn't see our first post about what BGMC is and our purpose for giving to missions, click here to read it.

Cambodia

This past Sunday, we talked about the country of Cambodia. A friend of mine, Amy Davidson, came to talk to the kids about Cambodia. She was there for two months last year and will be leaving to live there in August of this year as a missionary. She was able to share some fun and interesting facts about the country (the kids loved the stories of the rats and alligators, of course!) She also spent a little bit of time telling us what she will be doing there to help share the Gospel of Jesus. We also heard a true missions story that took place in Cambodia and how the Lord miraculously provided food for two very hungry children. We learned that God does in fact hear us when we pray, and will always take care of us! It reminded us to pray for the people of Cambodia, knowing that God hears us when we pray for them. Take some time this week as a family to pray for the people of Cambodia and the missionaries, especially Amy as she leaves this summer.

Don't forget to bring your Buddy Boxes again this week!

*All BGMC funds given this month will go to the country of Japan to help missionaries and Japanese families.
