Her post was interesting, as usual...
This is the photo that captured my attention...
At first I though Anna's 4 children were preparing for an onslaught in their back yard...maybe water balloons or flour bombs (I wouldn't put it past them to do this!).
But, no, they were preparing for an even greater war...
They were readying to do battle FOR the Lord!
The children were making parachutes for a Bible drop to guerilla controlled areas in Columbia! Each parachute had the message "Dios es Amor" (God is love.)
"I imagine a young soldier in fatigues looking up to the sky and seeing this billowing gift. As the spiritual war rages, God gave us this unique chance to send his message of love to the war weary. " (Anna)
If this intrigues you, you can find more information on this project/mission at the link below. There is a short video on the link that demonstrates what these missionaries do.
What a wonderful project this is for the young people in your church!

Hi Jane Sweetie...
What a wonderful way to send some love and at the same time put a little inspiration in their hearts. I love the idea of dropping some love into the war zone, most definitely. What a wonderful way for the kids to be involved. I love it. Thank you for sharing.
This is the Miracle Weekend makeover. I am one of the hosting sites. For every comment left, Guideposts magazine will pay a dollar, to the next cancer makeover patient. Please stop by and read the story about 9 year old Charlie, and bless me with a comment. Out goal between the 4 or 5 blogs is 5,000. I know we can do it. I would appreciate it, if you pass the word around to as many friends as possible.
Thank you sweetie for a wonderful post. I love it. Have a glorious weekend. Country hugs from Phoenix, Sherry
Wow that is fascinating. Reminds of the small chutes we learned about in school that dropped messages during WWII
