A GIFT OF LOVE - WORKS MIRACLES!!!

Copy paste blogging, but I thought this was awesome. God helps those in need even though they don’t call God the same name as I do.

HI & The story of 23 US$….

To set the scene, many know of HI’s (Global Help Initiative for Palestine) support of many issues regarding the terrible situation in Gaza, how, many don’t know that they receive very little funding. The following story will hopefully warm your heart and hopefully, also inspire your active participation in the worthy programs that HI undertakes for the people of Palestine, more specifically, the people of Gaza.

Several weeks ago, an Indonesian sister emailed HI telling us that she wanted to raise funds for the Palestinian people. She wrote articles about Gaza and HI in her native language, Indonesian, asking her people to help Palestine. Her message and passionate delivery swayed the people to action without any hesitation. Though, they themselves were suffering from the aftermath of several earthquakes and severe floodings in their own country.

After conversing with HI representatives and thanking her for her kind offer, this gracious sister set out to accomplish her mission. One week later, we received a message from her, “she had raised 23 U.S. Dollars, that she would be sending the funds to HI!” For those who don’t know about the current situation here in Gaza, specifically, the economic situation (Due to imposed restrictions by the Israelis; the cost of goods, medicines and materials is very expensive.) There is not much you can really do with 23 U.S. Dollars, but, this is where the miracles begin.

Because of the love that was given from a people who themselves were in need, when HI received the 23 U.S. Dollars; we wanted to help put some smiles on some school girl faces with the purchase of uniforms. We went to an owner of a clothes outlet and asked, “How many school uniforms could be bought with the funds?” The answer was, “Four!” However, God was looking down at us during this time. The kind owner said, “he had some extra uniforms that were available, valued at over $300 dollars that he would donate.” So, the first miracle was realized, the 23 U.S. Dollars provided 53 school uniforms for some lucky unsuspecting girls. The first miracle concerning this donation was realized.

HI representatives made an appointment with school officials of ”Sabra and Shatila,” The director indicated a need for some 180 girls that needed a school uniform. HI representatives indicated they would work with others to acquire funding for the remaining girls. On Thursday, 22 October 2009, HI team representatives went to “Sabra and Shatila Girls School” to hand over 53 school uniforms…You should have seen the beaming smiles. The first miracle was completed.

Shortly after presenting the school uniforms to the school, our Indonesian sister sent a message to us: ”HI, I have good news, I’m pregnant ^_^! This happened shortly after sent you the funds.” That was the “second miracle!”

There is still another miracle pending and that is the need for the remaining 127 female students to obtain their uniforms. Will you give us a helping hand?

Thanks to God who helped our sister, who in turn obtained the support of her people to provide funds for some much needed school uniforms. Thanks to God who provided a gracious owner of a clothes outlet to donate “school uniforms” for (53) of the (180) students that needed the uniforms. Thanks to God for the gift of life soon to be part of this world and lastly…Thanks to God, who will help provide the inspiration for others to make the required donation to purchase the remaining (127) girls’ school.
