During the month of February we have been gathering money to send ‘Buckets of Hope’ to Haiti. Each five gallon bucket was packed with specific food items and shipped to Haiti. Upon arrival, the buckets would be delivered to Haitian Baptist to distribute to the people whose lives were devastated by the earthquake which rocked the country in January.
They say that there is a story in every number. What do the following numbers say to you?
102 — 7,000 — 13,904 — 132,000
102 — the number of ‘Buckets of Hope’ sent by the Donelson Family @ First Baptist Church Donelson
7,000 — the goal of number of buckets set by the Tennessee Baptist Convention
13,904 — the actual number of buckets sent through the Tennessee Baptist Convention
132,000 — the total number of buckets sent by all State Conventions of the Southern Baptist Convention in the USA.
It is amazing what God can do when many work together as one. In packing that 102 buckets sent through the Donelson Family we were sure it would take four hours or more to pack the buckets. With the large crew that showed up to help,the buckets were packed and ready to load in less then one hour. When it came to loading the buckets on the truck for delivery, with the many hands on deck, all was finished before everyone that wanted to help could arrive.
I want to thank you for your giving and your hard work to make the ‘Buckets of Hope’ an outreach tools for the Haitian Baptist.
Your servant,
Bro. Jim
