WMU - Change a Child, Change a World

Can children really make a difference? Eric Jordan*, missionary to Croatia would say “yes!”

GAs (Girls in Action) have raised over $250,000 to purchase goats for Project MOST. Project MOST gives farm animals to Croatian families. This helps the families have milk and meat. Parents can also sell the animals or their babies to make money for their families. Project MOST missionaries tell each family about Jesus. GAs learned about Project MOST in February and discovered ways they could help.

GA groups used their imagination. They came up with many different ways to earn money! Here are just some of the things GAs did:

1) sold homemade butter and bread
2) had a walk-a-thon
3) collected change
4) sold cookies and baked goods
5) recycled aluminum cans
6) did odd jobs
7) made offering banks
8) served meals

Many groups got their entire church to help!

The girls who attended GA/Acteen Camp at Camp Wo–Me–To this summer raised $638 for Project MOST.

Project MOST missionary Eric Jordan says: “Thank you to everyone who helped with Project MOST! We never imagined that so many groups would help. It has been wonderful to receive emails, letters and photos from groups across North America. Please keep praying for Project MOST and the people in Croatia. We are excited to see what will happen because of this project!”
