Andrew and I recently started leading a Bible Study Group at our church. I should really write a whole post about this experience as it has been amazing to see the Lord at work.We typically meet on Sunday evenings but since this month has an extra Sunday, our group wanted to use that time to serve together! Seriously, we continue to be amazed at how awesome the people are the Lord put in our group. Serving together as families....how beautiful! Since we have 12 kids in the group we wanted to think of a project that would involve our children and The Cupcake Kids benefiting Sixty Feet came to mind.
The Cupcake Kids is a children's outreach impacting unwanted orphans in Uganda. There are more details on the organization below, but basically they minister to imprisoned children in the name of Christ. Our kids are going to be baking cupcakes and accepting donations for their efforts. I am not sure how much Julianne will get it, although the girl loves her some cake! I do think serving together as a family is incredibly valuable though even at her age. What an amazing opportunity to live out the Gospel for her and explain (if only practicing) that God calls us to help and serve others as he served us with His life. That we were also orphans but because Christ died the death we deserved, we are adopted as sons and daughters of the King! I am over the moon excited about it.
All this to say, our group is setting up shop THIS Sunday 4/29 from 5-6:30PM to raise funds for this cause. We will be at the Campbell Green Park at Parkhill and Campbell (one block west of Hillcrest) in North Dallas. If you love cupcakes, live in the area, or know anyone who does we’d love to see you and have help passing the word!

What is Sixty Feet?
SixtyFeet has been working specifically in Uganda for the past two years providing relief to hundreds of orphaned and abandoned children who reside in government run Remand Centers, what we in the States commonly call juvenile detention centers. The only difference is that the vast majority of these children have not committed any crime. Mostly, they are children under the age of 12 who are simply unwanted. They are street beggars who have been rounded up by the police, unwanted children who have been dropped off by a stepparent, handicapped and mentally disabled children, and orphaned refugees fleeing war torn countries in Africa. These Remand Centers are grossly overcrowded and terribly under funded.
SixtyFeet was created in April of 2010 to bring hope and healing to these children through the love of Jesus Christ.
By making a donation and buying a cupcake from The Cupcake Kids, you are helping to bring hope and a future to wrongly imprisoned children of Africa! 100% of the funds raised by The Cupcake Kids are used for the support of those helping the children in Uganda and resources necessary to provide for their needs.
