I want to tell you a true story about an unforgettable little girl I saw during one of our many outreaches years ago. She was about 5 years old, and she had put on a dress we had just given her with all the tags still on it.

She began twirling around like a little princess… such a pure expression of joy and life… I can still see her like it was yesterday. Suddenly she saw me and she cried out with excitement, and I’ll NEVER forget these words, “LOOK WHAT JESUS GAVE ME!”

This precious little child didn’t say, “Look what Pastor Paula gave me” or “Look what the ministry gave me.” To her, that beautiful dress came straight from Jesus… and it did. We were the hands that delivered His gift.

You can let little boys and girls in need see Jesus through you today! God is preparing you to display His glory so the world can see Him through the demonstration of your life. Today, I want to give you an opportunity to reveal the compassion and love God has been developing in you. With your action today, you can be the image of Jesus to a child in need!

School bells will soon be ringing again across the country. For many children, the new school year is an exciting time. But for some… it’s a time of embarrassment and shame. Many children unfortunately, will not have the ability to arrive on the first day of school ready and prepared to be all that they can be – many children won’t have a backpack or school supplies.

I’m asking for your help to give hope, dignity, and a reason to smile!

Students whose families are too poor to purchase school supplies or even a backpack dread returning to the classroom. I know from experience that the shame of poverty can prevent students from focusing on learning. Knowing the spirit of poverty from my own experience is why I am so passionate about this!

You can impact a needy child’s future through our annual event that reveals the love of Christ.

Our Annual Back to School Bash:

• Saturday August 9th from 5-8pm ET
• StoryLife Church – 505 E. McCormick Rd Apopka, FL 32703

At the event we will be providing:

• Backpacks
• School supplies
• Socks
• Shoes
• Haircuts
• Food
• Bounce houses
• DJ
• Fun, Games
• & Much more

I have witnessed these incredible events completely transform families every year. I have seen solemn, withdrawn boys and girls transform into children full of giggles and smiles. Full of God’s love. Some of these children have never had their own supplies or shoes to be proud of… But you can change that- because you cared!

Can you help us and give a special ministry gift today to help us provide backpacks loaded with school supplies, socks, shoes, haircuts, food and more?

For your ministry gift of:

• $50 or more, you can provide a backpack, loaded with school supplies for one child, as well as a haircut and food, to help give the Hope, Dignity, and A REASON TO SMILE!

Please don’t just stand by on the sidelines and hope someone else will be there for them. These children need us to step up and make a difference. I MUST hear from you TODAY to reach the multitude of children on August 9^th!
