UPDATE ON PCB 2016!
Way to go Life Changers! You went above and beyond as you always do!! Our goal for PCB this year was to raise $3,000 in order to gift every adoptive and foster family with a gift but through your generous giving $3,257 was raised!! WOW! This allowed us to give more to the families and allowed us to serve them a wonderful feast!
We love our adoptive and foster families and know that without them it would not be possible to live out the vision of Shaping Destiny. These parents do not take in orphans in our program because they have the extra funds to feed another mouth or an extra room in their home for another head to sleep, but because they have chosen to say yes to God and yes to loving the fatherless just as He has loved us.
God continues to provide for our adoptive and foster families through their faithfulness and has graciously used Shaping Destiny to help meet their needs. So, this Christmas we are sharing our gratitude for their lives and for the love that they have given so abundantly by giving them a gift. And we invite you to join in the celebration!
Our hope is to give about 60 families a gift package that includes:
- A large bag of rice (this will provide an average sized family rice for an entire month)
- Cooking oil
- Another necessary household item (cooking utensils, cleaning products, etc)
This will cost about $50 per gift package, so we are asking you to join us this Christmas and help give back to those who give so generously all year long! You can choose to donate $50 to cover the cost of one gift package, partner with friends or family and contribute toward the cost of one gift, or give any amount that God lays on your heart.
We believe that giving to others is a huge part of God’s heart; to those we know and love, those we don’t know and to those that are in need. We have a Father that gives abundantly, and we pray that we can give a glimpse of how gracious our God is this Christmas!
