My Closet

I was inspired one day to sell just about everything in my wardrobe in order to finance an outreach with my family and children's choir to Asia.  Why the desperation?  This is not the first time I've had a gut feeling, a burning push from within to do something special.   The feeling doesn't come all of the time but I've come to learn that when it does, I'm better off obeying it.  My husband and I volunteer full time in Buenos Aires,  Argentina with a non profit.  We work with an amazing group of kids which, among many other things, performs as a children's choir.  As I began to watch them raise  funds with such faith and conviction for what seems to be an impossible mission, especially for children of such humble means from a 3rd world country, the burning feeling came again and with it came wth inspiration.  For the last week I've been posting our clothes and electronics on a facebook page I affectionately named My Closet and, to my surprise, people started buying!  We have a little over a month and are nowhere near our minimum goal $8,000 for air flight tickets alone but that won't stop us.  We humbly come with our "loaves and fishes" just like the boy in John 6:1-14, and await a "feeding-of-the-five thousand" sort of miracle.  If you'd like to add your "loaves a fishes" to our basket, you can send your gently used clothing to our contact in the Washington State to be sold through ebay or My Closet.  All profits will go to the King's Kids Asia project.  Any cash donations can be sent via PayPal to rosesnbloom85@yahoo.com  Cash donations are tax deductable and donors will receive an official letter from YWAM Argentina for that purpose.  Shoot me a private message if you'd like to be part of our miracle!    Thanks for reading!
