Firefleyes reaching out in the local communities....

As many of you may know some horrible tornados have hit in MN in the past month. Wadena MN was one of several towns hit with over 20 people injured and many without homes and have lost everything. Can you imagine life being normal one minute while sitting in the comfort of your own home and suddenly watch everything vanish before your eyes? Or how about the young child who has lost all of their belongings and has nothing to call their own anymore?

While sitting in church this past Sunday i listened to the pastor preach about loving our neighbor and picking up the weak in a time of need. The pastor explained to the kids during the children's sermon that our neighbors are not just the people that live next to us and around us..... our neighbors are our brothers and sisters in Christ and as Christians it is our responsibility to lift them up in a time of need.

Jodi Wilken is a woman here in Sartell who is bringing teams together to travel to the disaster areas to help out those that were affected. If you would like to be apart of one of those teams contact me so i can get you in contact with her.

I will be taking donations all this week of anything you can give to the victims of the storm. Some of the Firefleyes soccer balls and baby dolls will be given out some of the children who have lost absolutely everything.

Ideas of what to donate:
Toys (soccer balls, baby dolls)
Clothing
Toiletry packages (little shampoos, conditioners, toothpaste, toothbrush ect)

Please contact Bethany via email or Phone if you have ANYTHING you can contribute. Donations will be personally delivered to the victims.


The bible tells us in Acts 20:35 "In everything i showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive'"
