Picture a place where families roam the land searching for food. Their utter lack of resources brings them to hunger and their bodies deteriorate with malnourishment. A place where wealth is not gold or silver or cash, but cows and goats. These animals are the people’s survival. Some fight to steal them. Some die protecting them. The Pokot region of Kenya is one such place. It is a place riddled with strife, where tribes war to protect their resources and provide for their own. Children lead their flocks out at day, each night thankful to return home, having survived another day.

Now imagine a place where children from warring tribes come together and are provided food, shelter, education and love. Where they are taught to live in peace with their neighbor and those from other tribes. Where they are given hope. Such a place also exists. It’s called Daylight. Today Daylight has committed teachers providing education for 150 kids. What we need now (this is where you come in) is a place for these children of nomads to go to school; a place to call home. We’ve purchased 3 acres of land. But what we need to run a successful school and provide these children with great opportunities is 8 acres of land. $10,000 will get us what we need. Imagine 100 people giving 100 dollars.  It’s a steep goal for a ragtag band of idealists in Minneapolis. But YOU can help us make that goal a reality.

Our Challenge: Give a gift today with two zeros in front of it (_00.00 you fill in the blank).

The Prize: Besides the huge prize of helping kids in need, we’re providing another one. For every $100 you give in the next two weeks, your name will be entered into a raffle to win a week’s stay at the Roberts’ Cabin in Brainerd, MN (Usually rented for $2500/week).

To help us continue to provide peace, education, and hope, in the name of Jesus, read below or go here. (Surprisingly, checks are preferred this time.)
