Oh, dear village of Adecar.  Do you know what’s headed your way?  Your people are going to bed hungry.  Your orphans need cloths, food, education, hope.  Your widows need a break, need support.  Our big God hears your prayers.

I imagine a Friday night when the people of Peachtree City pile into their golf carts and race to Adecar’s aid.  I imagine a Saturday night when the people of Canton gather together to make a difference.  From north to south, I imagine Atlantans rising up together to fight back poverty and change a village.

Three hundred and sixty-five orphans.  Three hundred and sixty-five.  3-6-5.  They have nothing.  Nothing.  But soon, that will change.  And by God’s grace, we’re going to change it.  Imagine what a difference we can make in the village of Adecar when Atlantans come forward to sponsor 365 orphans.  When we raise $8,000 and build a kitchen and meeting facility in the heart of Adecar, a place where kids can find food for their bodies and the Word of God for their souls.  Where there was tragedy, there will be dignity.  Where there was devastation, there will be education.  Where there was suffering, there will be rejoicing.

From north to south, Canton to Peachtree City, we get to watch God change a village in one weekend.  We get to be His hands here on earth, to stand in the gap and say, “No more.  I will not let poverty take these children.  I refuse to watch and do nothing.  I cannot save every child, every village, but I can save one.”  Let this be your legacy.  What did I do with my life?  I got to help God save a village.
