Cross International's Robert Lewis & Tom Carter

Robert Lewis & Tom Carter with Cross International spend the hour in-studio today. Cross International is based in Pompano Beach, Florida and works in many third-world countries, coming alongside established ministries to support them in their work. The focus of our time today is a partnership with Divine Shelter Christian School in Haiti, where the average household income is $2 per day and many families cannot afford food much less education. For a one-time gift of $88, a child can have a full scholarship to DSCS, including a uniform, shoes, school supplies, and of course the education itself—and not just any education, but a Christian education, where the child reads the Bible, memorizes Scripture, and learns about the Lord. For an additional one-time gift of $22, the child will receive a hot meal each day. All told, a $110 one-time gift will provide both the Christian education and food for a child for a whole year. A number of very powerful stories are shared, including two children (ages 9 and 11) who, despite being terminally ill, insisted their Christmas money be used instead for helping two children in Haiti receive education and food with DSCS. Give the podcast a listen and be both encouraged in your faith and challenged (in a good way) to be God’s “hands and feet.” 1 866 367-9655 is the number to help out, or you can click the Cross International banner at wfil.com. Should you wish to help out on a monthly basis (say $110 / 12 months = $9.16/month), that’s totally fine too. By the way, Robert did mention a “Classroom Champion” line of thinking, for those who might be in position to help on a larger scale. Since the average class size DSCS works with is 30 children, a $3300 gift (30 x $110/child) would provide an education and food for an entire class for a year. Should you wish to help on a monthly basis, this would equate to $275/month.   Thank you for your consideration & God bless you today!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
