cupcake kids [inter]national sale 2013.
calling all kids ready to make a HUGE impact on children's
lives on the other side of the world!
lives on the other side of the world!
it's time to launch Cupcake Kids season!
Cupcake Kids was born of kids watching their parents be involved in
helping the imprisoned children in Uganda, Africa and wanting to help, too.
they came up with the idea to sell cupcakes and donate all the money to
that non-profit, Sixty Feet. then, they asked kids all over the world to
do the same and, through them, God has raised tens of thousands of
dollars for the imprisoned children.
Sixty Feet is an action-based organization created to bring hope and restoration
to the imprisoned children of Africa in
Jesus' name. We are not referring to a
figurative prison of poverty or
circumstance, but real places, with real bars.
the words above from their website are true. these are real places. several of them
throughout the country of uganda. i've been there. i've seen the children.
seen the hunger. seen the hurt. seen the pain. seen the bars. seen the prison cell.
i've also seen God work through Sixty Feet to bring medical care, food,
hygiene, clean water, education and even some fun to these kids' days.
most importantly, i've seen them bring the gospel and those children's eyes
that had been filled with hurt? they begin to glimmer with hope.
now we have a chance to be Cupcake Kids, too! it's simple. the official
[Inter]National Cupcake Kids sale day is:
May 4th, 2013.
your Cupcake Kids have a stand on that day [or any other day of the year!]
sell cupcakes, lemonade, coffee, treats--really, anything you'd like!
sign your Cupcake Kids up HERE and start dreaming with them
how they'd like to help the precious children in Uganda.
our kids have LOVED doing this and it's such a great way for them to get
involved, pray for others and truly make a difference.
when the sale is over, you'll donate the money to Sixty Feet
and wait to see just how much was raised this year.
