Once again the Old Otterbein Church will be "gifting" to
the Heifer Fund. Maybe we can make Super Bowl Sunday a
super challenge in giving. The Heifer Fund was formed
by a man intent on helping impoverished families around the
world provide for themselves. We are hoping over the
months of January and February to collect enough spare
change to purchase a cow ($500)!! According to Heifer
International: "there is perhaps no gift as meaningful than
a heifer. To a malnourished child, it means milk to
drink each morning. To a desperate parent, it means up
to 4 gallons of milk each day to sell and dependable income
to pay pay for food, clothes, school and medicine.
And, to a forgotten village, it means generation after
generation of renewed hope as the gift of the offspring is
passed from one family to the next."
PLEASE gather your
quarters, nickels, and dimes each day and see how much of a
cow you can purchase to make a difference.
