friends, you know my mad love for Ekisa, right?
if not, let me quote who they are from their website:

Ekisa Ministries International is a non-profit organization
based out
of Fishers, Indiana. Ekisa Ministries will provide
those in Uganda, East
Africa living with disabilities a place
of understanding and assist
them in their physical, mental,
and spiritual growth. In Luganda, the
local language of Uganda,
Ekisa means "Grace." By showing God's grace to children in
Uganda with
disabilities we wish to see them transformed in His
glory. In Uganda,
having a disability is often seen as a curse and it
is not uncommon for
those with disabilities to be shunned by their
communities, even their
own families. At Ekisa we will create a
safe and nurturing home for
children with disabilities. We will also
work with communities and
families in an effort to change negative
views toward the disabled.
i love their vision. i love their action.
they are caring for these kids & the kids are flourishing!
they are coming alongside local families and empowering them
to care for their own children with special needs--something virtually
unheard of in the area. they are employing people with special needs
to help at the home.

ekisa's medical bills can range from $1500-$6000 every month.
so, that averages to $3750 every single month.
after much prayer,
after much prayer,
i'd like to bless them with this amount through the end of the year.
so for the months of november & december,
they will have $7500 in their account to properly care for these precious children.
so they don't have to worry about where the money will come from.
so they don't have to make choices about what medical care is most important.
so they don't hesitate to take a child in for care due to lack of funds.
so they feel our love from the other side of the world....our support of
what they are doing and who they are caring for.
now, let us love.

will you donate $33 directly to Ekisa for my 33rd birthday?
i understand that $33 can be a lot.
it might be a true sacrifice.
it might lead you to share with a friend & split the amount.
it might lead you to share with a friend & split the amount.
whether you give out of excess or you give out of sacrifice....
just please give joyfully if you feel led.
please share wherever you are able.
most importantly, please pray for the people that have stepped out in
faith and obedience for this ministry and pray for the precious children
and families that they serve.
