“The Hands and Feet of Jesus”

One of the guiding principles of Sisters Christian Academy (SCA) is to see the children who attend develop a world view that includes dreaming what God would have them do for Him when they grow up. Peggy Miller, SCA’s Principal, said the staff and board has for two years actively sought for a way for SCA students’ and families to reach out to the world and “be the hands and feet of Jesus.” When Peggy heard about ANM’s ministry plans for Liberia which included orphans she felt this was a great opportunity for the students, staff, and families to be involved. SCA set a goal to raise $2,000 for food and medicine for the three orphanages in which ANM would minister. In amazing ways the children gave from their hearts, often sharing all of their allowance money or babysitting money or money earned from doing extra chores around the house. The students, staff and families raised almost $4,000! The result was that all three orphanages received enough rice, beans, and cooking oil to feed the children and staff for two months. In addition, the extra funds raised allowed each orphanage to have a six month supply of multi-vitamins for each child. From the smallest to the oldest children at SCA, they realized they could make a difference in a life—even in far away Liberia!
