			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>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:</strong></p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img title="Coffee House 2010" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_1LcdqY3m8iQ/S3RGhST5JsI/AAAAAAAAA_k/zxxzDjgClOI/IMG_1398.JPG" alt="Coffee House 2010" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Coffee House 2010</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Host</strong> 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</span> <a href="mailto:david@boazproject.org">david@boazproject.org</a>.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 311px"><img title="10 Days of Prayer 2009" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_1LcdqY3m8iQ/S3RGhWLyPkI/AAAAAAAAA_g/4Aa5hlSBXvo/IMG_1271_crop.jpg" alt="10 Days of Prayer 2009" width="301" height="226" /><p class="wp-caption-text">10 Days of Prayer 2009</p></div>
<p><strong>Impact </strong>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 <a href="../../">www.boazproject.org</a>.   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.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img title="Walk for an Orphan 2009" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_1LcdqY3m8iQ/S3RGhu-Vf-I/AAAAAAAAA_o/olN6dfplcQo/IMG_7871.JPG" alt="Walk for an Orphan 2009" width="300" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Walk for an Orphan 2009</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Put </strong>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</span> <a href="../../">www.boazproject.org</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Sponsor </strong>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 <a href="mailto:cathy@boazproject.org">cathy@boazproject.org</a> for details.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 309px"><img title="Gift delivery at the Vladimir Orphanage 2010" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_1LcdqY3m8iQ/S3RGiOcFkrI/AAAAAAAAA_0/Eg3MvZt5tJM/P1000889_crop.jpg" alt="Gift delivery at the Vladimir Orphanage 2010" width="299" height="224" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Gift delivery at the Vladimir Orphanage 2010</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Encourage </strong>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</span> <a href="mailto:cathy@boazproject.org">cathy@boazproject.org</a> <span style="color: #800000;">for details.</span></p>
<p><strong>Help </strong>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 <a href="mailto:don@boazproject.org">don@boazproject.org</a>, 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.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Explore other ways to get involved by visiting</span> <a href="../../">www.boazproject.org</a>.  <span style="color: #800000;">Choose the “Get Involved” tab and click on “Ways to Help.”  There’s something for everyone!</span></strong></p>
