For the Least of These
Photo of Mike standing next to a camel

My camel friend and I smile at the camera in Deriga village in South Darfur. Deriga has now been dubbed “Ohio 2” because of your investment in safe water, agriculture and schools.

Yesterday’s issue of The Christian Post featured on its front page this article about our Christmas Miracle Offering approach to serve our sisters and brothers in Darfur, Sudan. Your continued focus on humanitarian investment at Christmas versus the culture’s focus on self-serving materialism is influencing other Jesus followers and churches to do the same. I am grateful to be part of this faith movement called Ginghamsburg!

God bless…

Great article! (And I still think you and the camel are twin brothers of different mothers.)

Karen, I thought it was a lady camel, just going by the attractive headband she's (?) wearing. Maybe I'm being sexist.
I guess guy camels can wear them too.
Wait a minute... Mike was on OUR left right? Or right, am I left?
Well heck, they're both cute, and I'm proud to know at least one of them (now I can't remember which one).
This thing called Ginghamsburg is the best thing I've ever done for myself. I LOVE that you people are showing the world what Christians are SUPPOSED to do.
Thanks to all of you.

If only you guys could've gotten the camel to smile.
