”Let’s give Bibles again!” Evie exclaimed as we reached for the FH gift catalog. During our 8 Days of Giving in December, this was one of the gifts our kids enjoyed giving the most. “I remember giving Bibles,” Emily said, “It not only provides a Bible, but also teaches them how to study the Bible.” The [...]

2 Rabbits: 40 Days of Giving
Question: How many rabbits does it take to make a difference in a child’s life? Two, if they hop right to it. Week 3: 2 Rabbits When we landed on the page in the FH gift catalog, Julia (5 years old) exclaimed, “Oooooh! Let’s get rabbits!” The kids are excited about the impact rabbits can have in [...]

Water Pump: 40 Days of Giving
During the period of 40 days, the Lord prepared Himself for His earthly ministry. While we’re not sure exactly what that entailed, we do know that He fasted. Traditionally, fasting is a time of abstinence from something, generally food or drink. The purpose is to practice self-restraint and to focus on God. The idea is [...]

40 Days of Giving
Each year, my wife Jennica asks me if I’m going to give up anything for Lent. She holds to the tradition of making a sacrifice during these 40 days, giving up meat, caffeine or sweets. I’ve only participated once – giving up caffeine during Lent last year, though this year I’m giving up all but [...]

Let’s make it rain goats
As a parent, I learn a lot from my kids. We recently finished 8 Days of Giving and as I watched how my kids view poverty, I learned a lot about how God wants us to address hunger. My kids taught me that what I perceive is a lot of money is life changing for other [...]

Day 8: 5 Bibles (8 Days of Giving)
It’s day eight of our 8 Days of Giving and we’ve learned a lot about giving and serving the most vulnerable. We’ve learned how gardens in FH communities are similar to our own, what rabbits are really used for, how deworming can change a child’s life (500 of them in a single gift!), and the [...]

Day 7: 2 Tippy Taps (8 Days of Giving)
Like many families this Christmas season, our family has had it’s share of sickness. This past week, the flu has made its way through four kids and me. Jennica is due Christmas, so we’ve been trying our best to keep her from getting sick. It’s easy for us to buy antibacterial soaps and sprays, wash [...]

Day 6: Vegetable Seeds (8 Days of Giving)
I have a garden that provides organic food for my family. My kids help with it, so they understand the benefits and work that goes into growing food. When we saw the vegetable seeds in the FH gift catalog, our family choose the seeds with a resounding, “Yes!” The vegetable seeds didn’t take much explanation, until Emily [...]

Day 5: 2 Rabbits (8 Days of Giving)
Today, I’m writing a very different post than I expected to write. When we stopped on the page with the rabbits, I expected the conversation to go a a little different. When we landed on the page in the FH gift catalog, Julia (5 years old) exclaimed, “Oooooh! Let’s get rabbits!” I began thinking about [...]

Day 4: Deworming Medicine for 500 Kids (8 Days of Giving)
It’s hard to imagine life in countries where even a glass of water isn’t safe to drink. When we came to the page that had deworming medication on it, our kids wanted an explanation of the image and what a deworming pill could do. After explaining how the pill will change a child’s life, Julia, [...]
