Final Jeopardy question: What did you like best about summer camp?

The above question and answers are from my conversation with some of the children at Operation Hope’s Summer Camp.

  • 46 gift cards @ $25 each
  • 140 packs of notebook paper

Why I hate the Love Fund

I hate the Love Fund because it means that there are still people who need help. It means that life is unpredictable and misfortune strikes everyone — even Christians, even in South Florida.

On the other hand, I love it because it gives us a chance to practice Christian love in our own church family and home community.

Please support the fund we love to hate. Please help us help others by designating special donations to the Love Fund.
