Have you ever heard stories about those less fortunate and wondered, “What can I do to help?” Well, The Boaz Project provides several ways to make helping orphans simple and fun! Check these ideas out:
Coffee House 2010
Host a coffee house in your area! Advance work is minimal, and it provides a fun venue for those familiar with The Boaz Project to catch up on the latest news and introduce others to the ministry. If interested, please contact David by writing him at david@boazproject.org.
10 Days of Prayer 2009
Impact orphans around the world by joining us for The Boaz Project’s Festival of Prayer, Feb. 16-25. A brochure which includes specific topics of prayer for each day can be downloaded from www.boazproject.org. If you live in the Greenwood, IN area, please plan to pray with our staff at 9:00 a.m. in our office any or allof those days. Also, we’d love to have you attend the closing prayer service at Southport Presbyterian Church on Feb. 25 at 7:00 p.m.
Walk for an Orphan 2009
Put one foot in front of the other, and soon you’ll be…helping orphans! The Boaz Project’s Walk for an Orphan 2010 will be held Saturday, April 24 on the Greenwood walking trail. But if you aren’t in the Greenwood area, you can walk where you are! To get details and sign up online, visit www.boazproject.org.
Sponsor one of this year’s events. You can choose from Walk for an Orphan (April 24), the Fore Orphans Golf Scramble (May 14), or our volunteer appreciation dinner (Nov. 13). Or, maximize your giving by taking advantage of our multiple event discount incentives! Sponsorship information is available online at www.boazproject.org by clicking on the event, or contact cathy@boazproject.org for details.
Speaking of sponsorship, we’d like to thank last year’s volunteer appreciation banquet sponsors, Grace Assembly of God Church, Bioslife, Veal Insurance Agency, Arthur Murray Dance Studios, and Buca di Beppo. They enabled us to express our gratitude to the many volunteers who make the ministry of The Boaz Project possible.
Gift delivery at the Vladimir Orphanage 2010
Encourage your church, Vacation Bible School, or other group to participate in the orphan gift bank program. This year, nearly $22,000 was raised through this program alone. We are redesigning our banks so they aren’t just for Christmas anymore! We can send you banks to collect monies for orphans’ birthday presents anytime of the year. Write to cathy@boazproject.org for details.
Help us cut costs AND keep you up-to-date on Boaz events by sharing your Email address for prayer and news updates. Just send a note to don@boazproject.org, letting him know you want to stay in the loop. We have already reduced costs greatly by converting one third of our newsletter recipients to an Email version of this newsletter.
