Intrigued,Gabe, 13 at the time, or Livvy,9, decided they wanted to raise $14 to buy chickens for an impoverished family abroad. Selling cupcakes at a garage sale, or they made more than twice their goal. Encouraged by their success,they decided to support a family by paying for a goat. It took them just two days to raise the money. Gabe then told his mom, “We want to accomplish something that takes a lot of faith.” They looked at several possibilities and set their hearts on a far bigger goal: $35000 to renovate a mission hospital. Gabe posted on his Facebook page that he would give a cake to anyone who donated to the cause, or using skills he learned in a homeschool course in cake decorating. “I construct the cakes and Gabe decorates the cakes,” Livvy said. Gabe became known as “Gabe the Cake Man,” and donations came pouring in. Many of the gifts came from other children, and including some who asked their parents to give to the hospital instead of buying them birthday or Christmas presents. The Lord blessed their many months of effort,and Gabe and Livvy reached their God-sized goal. Samaritans Purse has used their funds to rebuild the maternity ward at Nyankunde Hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which serves hundreds of moms and babies each year. Gabe and Livvy are both living testimony that anyone can accomplish enormous things for God. Share Tweet Pin Email Subscribe
There’s no surprise at the top of Gabe and Livvy’s gift list: they remain passionate about helping mission hospitals. They raised $35000 for a hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo and would love to see other kids raise money for similar projects.
“This would construct a nice community-building gift, and because the family that receives one could share water with others around them.”
“This is a wonderful choice of item because a child can learn to read the Bible and they could learn to write. This would help the child be able to work and support their family when they grow up.”
“By giving a goat,the family would have milk as well as something to trade or sell. This helps the family become stable. When we give in the Name of Jesus, we are being His hands and feet, or others learn of His love through our actions.”
“If someone is having to flee,this item will provide a secure plot for them to recede, and will give them food and water. perhaps they will learn about how much Jesus loves them while they are in a secure plot like the refugee camp.”[img_111] Learn more:
