Gloria!!!

If your child has been around the Lake Pointe Firewheel preteen ministry very long at all, you've probably been hit up for money for the "Snack Shack".  And while it is a great excuse for us to get your kid sugared up and bouncing off of the wall, the end result is a lot bigger than a candy bar or soft drink.  All of the proceeds from the sales of our "Snack Shack" feed directly back into some sort of missions; whether local, national or global.  And this year, we have elected to use some of that monthly revenue to directly support a girl from Ghana in west Africa.  Her name is Gloria Agbeto.  She is 10 but will be turning 11 on February 27th.  She lives in the small village of Mamakrom.  It is a very exciting thing to think that a couple dozen kids in Garland, Texas would be able to do something that would have such a huge impact on someone half-a-world away.  So the next time your kid begs you for a dollar so that they can get a Dr. Pepper or a bag of Skittles, just remember our friend Gloria in Ghana appreciates your support very much!
