Diapers are not something one would normally think of when looking at the needs of the Greenville Rescue Mission! But they are every bit as needed as food, clothing, cleaning supplies, etc. Up until recently in our family apartments between several families there were 12 children. Five of these were in diapers. Today we have six children with four in diapers. Diapers are not something in our budget and are very expensive. So we depend on donations.
This need came to the ears of eight year old Jacob. With a birthday party coming up, he told his mom he did not want toys or gifts, but wanted his friends to bring diapers for the children at the Mission! Well, l the end result was lots of packages of diapers, wipes and some toys. The total count of all the diapers was 800! This was amazing!
To think that an 8 year old child would take such an interest in meeting our need here is incredible! And we praise the Lord for this as well as for the many other donations get from many others! God does meet our needs by touching the hearts of children as well as those much older!
