This year I have decided to forego my annual Easter dress purchase and instead give the money to the Wiphan Care Ministry. This is taken from their website and tells a little about what they do:
Wiphan Care Ministries is an African-based ministry that exists solely to nurture and develop widows and orphans in the compounds outside of Ndola. Wiphan’s desire to “look after” widows and orphans comes directly from God’s word in James 1:27. “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.” The mission of our ministry is to love and care for the materially poor in Ndola, Zambia. Our aim is to relate to the children and ladies in our program through the love of Jesus Christ. As we develop these relationships through love, service, and community, their spirit is strengthened and we see firsthand how we are made to love others.
I have plenty of outfits I can wear any given Sunday and by sending my $30 to Wiphan , they will use it to feed and educate an orphan for a month. They will also send you this cool tee shirt...a lot more comfortable than some fancy smancy dress!
