$180 a month of my budget comes from children under 12!




Corbin & Charity were birthed for my friend's children who I love as my own. Whether it's the Bales 8, the Russell 2, the Shand 3, or any one of the 3 dozen children who are currently enrolled in my kid's club, Corbin & Charity were created for them, but they've touched so many others!

Corbin & Charity are technically made out of paper, card stock to be exact. But I'm pretty sure they are 100% love & joy. They've now traveled with me to Kenya, the Philippines, Haiti, Honduras, and all over the US. They've brought food, clean water, smiles, joy, and best of all the love of Jesus to children all over the world. (And probably a few germs if the truth be told!)

It's $5 a month to enroll a child, many of the children enrolled are giving that $5 out of their own money. One little girl has given up her weekly trip to Sonic so that she can give $20 a month, she's 7. One young man wrote a book about how God has made us all different and had it published and he gives some of his proceeds to send Corbin & the message of Jesus around the world. Other kiddos, have sent me letters with some of their Christmas or Birthday money that they, on their own, decided to give to missions. One very special club member, has been growing her hair out for months and recently had it all cut off to give to a little girl who lost her hair to cancer. I couldn't be more proud of the children in this program.

What do they get out of it? Quarterly letters from Corbin & Charity, some photos of Corbin & Charity in action, a bound book of their journey each year, but in truth, they don't get much. I'm pretty sure they do it because they want other children to know Jesus... go figure!



Thank you! Corbin and Charity Kid's Club Members! I love and pray for each of you! We're going to have a very exciting year together!
