Buckets of Hope
I am very excited about a Serve opportunity next Wednesday in the Pier. Students will be participating in the “Buckets of Hope” campaign of the Southern Baptist Convention.
BOH is a chance to directly participate in Haiti earthquake relief. Hillcrest Students have already raised over $800 for two orphanages in Port Au Prince, but now we have the chance to join hands with other cooperating churches and continue to support the relief effort on the ground there.
It works like this:
- Pack a five gallon bucket with a designated list of dry food items
- Seal the bucket with a locking lid
- Place a $10 in an envelope and tape it to the lid, this is for shipping
- Once this bucket reaches Haiti, it will be delivered to a family where it has the potential to feed them for over a week
The goal is to ship out 130 Buckets of Hope from Hillcrest. All of the supplies have already been gathered. The buckets, lids, and dry goods have been donated. The $10 bills were raised by the adults in Pastor Jim’s Wednesday night Bible study. We are going to pack and ship them. The students and children will be working on this project this coming Wednesday so be in prayer that God can use this as a Christ-honoring time of sacrifice and service.
If you REALLY wanna be prepared, check out this instructional video below:
Love you guys! See you in the Pier on Wednesday at 6:30!
