Columbus Sunday School class works to help those with need
COLUMBUS, Ind. - Kathy Warner's second and third grade Sunday school class hopes to fulfill a global call to mission on a local level.
The class is hoping to meet a goal of $5,000, enough to buy an ark of animals for an impoverished village.
The program first donates the animals and then educates the community about animal management, nutrition and food processing. Villages are then encouraged to pass the offspring of the donated animals and their new knowledge on to nearby communities. The goal of the program is to create self-reliance and encourage a system of community and sharing.
During the past five years, the class has sent individual animals through Heifer International, but now are excited about the prospect of sending an ark of 15 animals. If donated, the ark will reach over 30 families in need.
Children are asking their congregation as well as members of their community to participate in the fundraising efforts.
Those interested in supporting the project can drop off money at the East Columbus United Methodist Church at 2439 Indiana Ave.; Columbus, IN 47201.
Heifer International, started in 1944, as helped more than 38 million people worldwide.
