I was hardly in the doors of Wings of Refuge Children’s Home (much less into the country) before I was being asked for soap. Apparently, the kids have been waiting patiently for the soap we collected. Now, don’t worry - I am positive that a substitute was being used but no where near the quality or smell of SoapBox Soaps.
Last time I brought soap, a few of the kids walked around huffing their hands for an entire day because they smelled so good.
Our goal was to collect 100 bars of soap for Wings of Refuge Children’s Home. We sold over 163 bars of soap in 2 weeks and brought down over 225 bars of soap.
Partnering with the Church in Haiti is not for a few who feel especially called or those who are able to travel there tomorrow. Partnering with what God is doing in the world is the call of every believer.
So, you can’t head to Haiti on the next trip - so what?! Don’t let that keep you from becoming engaged with what God is doing here. Obviously, it goes a long way for the kids at Wings of Refuge Children’s Home. It means soap. It means clean little hands and healthy bodies.
Thank you, Church for being a generous Church. You are simply glorious.
Thank you, SoapBox Soaps for partnering with us in serving the 21 beautiful kids of Wings of Refuge Children’s Home. They smell so nice, thanks to you.
