Prayer Giraffes!

All of our prayer giraffes were sponsored before the commissioning service this past Sunday. Sponsors were asked to give a donation of any amount toward their giraffes and we raised over $500. The money collected will be put toward communication supplies (printer paper and ink cartridges) and internet and satellite fees for Paula and Denny at Nyakato.

A big THANK YOU to Phyllis who sewed the little giraffes and then to my mom who stuffed and finished them up.

We will be working this week on the bigger giraffes (that will go to Tanzania with us). If you would like to help sew, stuff or stitch please leave a comment below.

Prayer Giraffe Sponsorship

On Sunday we started to ask for folks to sponsor the Prayer Giraffes we have half (18) of our them sponsored. Sponsors are asked to contribute what ever amount they feel appropriate and we have raised over $200 already. Some of the money will go to pay for the supplies to make the giraffes, but the remaining funds will be put toward communication supplies (printer paper and ink cartridges) and internet and satellite fees for Paula and Denny at Nyakato.

A big THANK YOU to Kassidy for all her help yesterday!

Prayer Giraffes

Prayer Giraffes are coming. The set shown above is an example of a Prayer Giraffe Set - and we will have 36 sets available for sponsorship over the next couple of weeks before the team departs for Tanzania.

Each set has two giraffes, a drawstring bag and several prayer cards. The large giraffe is 9" tall and the small giraffe is 6.5" tall. The pair of giraffes are to be given to each M4M team member, one for their family to keep (along with a card) as a prayer reminder and one for them to take and leave in Tanzania. The drawstring bag (along with a prayer card) is for the person(s) who has sponsored the giraffes.

More information about sponsoring prayer giraffes will be at the Tanzania/Outreach table in the Narthex this weekend.

If you or someone you know is interested in helping sew and or sponsoring a set, leave a comment below.
