West Monroe Apostolic Church to sponsor
LILY'S CLOTHING DRIVE
Herrin, IL – January 9, 2009 – Throughout the month of January, the Children's Ministry of the West Monroe Apostolic Church in Herrin, Illinois will be partnering with the organization, Jump For Joel (www.jumpforjoel.org) which assists the Gathiga Children's Hope Home, an orphanage directly outside of Nairobi, Kenya.
After watching a promotional video for this organization, one seven-year old girl, Lily Baldi, was so overwhelmed with what she saw, she wanted to help give these kids some clothes that she didn't wear anymore.
"Lily really is an inspiration to us all. She saw a need and reacted to the need. The least we could was act upon her desire to assist kids on the other side of the world and make it a reality. And not only do we want to help this orphanage, but we want to help agencies across the region that help Children in need," Children's Pastor Jeffrey Isbell said. "This is a project where our children will help other children who may not be as blessed and we hope to make it a great success."
Lily Baldi is the daughter of Jimmy and Brandi Baldi of Herrin, who also attend the West Monroe Apostolic Church.
Children's clothing of all sizes can be donated by leaving a voicemail in the church office at (618) 942-4163 or by calling Jeffrey Isbell at (618) 889-9148. All donations are greatly appreciated and will help children in need both in Kenya, Africa and across our region.
