Thank-You!!!!!!

Thank-you to all those that came out to the Feast on Saturday Night!! We had lots of people come and the night was a lot of fun. I got to meet new people and get to know some. Thanks for letting me share my heart with you. We made about $4,600 which brings our total fundraised money over $10,000!! That is a lot of money.

I want to thank all the helpers too. Especially my mom and Joy. All the people in the kitchen and helping with tables and the silent auction did great too. Thank-you to all of you who helped me and my mom.

Our next event is the Musical Cafe which will be on Saturday, November 25th (My baby brothers birthday!!) It will go from 6:30 to around 10:00 or even later if lots of people want to come and sing and do something.
Tickets cost only $5.00 and include a beverage and dessert as well as being able to listen to lots of good music. Me and my sister will play a few piano songs during the night too.
If you want to sell tickets to this call my mom at 622-1030. Thank-you.

Hello from Jaako

I just want to let you know how I'm feeling right now. I'm feeling kinda stressed in trying to organize things. I can't wait to see the kids in Malawi and help them. I'm really excited about the trip and I just can't wait. Most kids in Malawi have lost one or both of their parents to aids, they really need our help. I'd love for you guys to pray for me and for all those children. I have about $3000.00 raised right now. Thank-you for your support. God Bless you.

Hope for Malawi

Hi, My name is Jaako and I am going to Malawi, Africa in January 2007.
In May 2006 while I was praying, God told me to go to Africa to tell the kids about His love, to bring them much needed supplies and money. I will be bringing them at least 1,000 "Bags of Hope" as well. They are ziploc bags filled with small items such as: small bouncy balls, crayons or short pencil crayons, small note pads, socks, jewellery, Hot Wheel Cars, Hard candy ect. It's like the Christmas Shoe Boxes but on a smaller scale. I want to give a bag to each child that I meet. A friend named Rita (along with others) is sewing up little bags that they can go into.
Please pray for me. The Children in Malawi are very poor and have lost either one or both parents to aids. Please consider donating to these kids.
