We are collecting metal lids to jars (spaghetti sauce jars, pickle jars, etc.) and metal bottle tops for a prayer and fundraising project we want to do this Christmas. You are welcome to start bringing them to us today. We will be creatively adding a picture of a refugee child, woman or gentleman inside these lids, painting them and decorating them so that they will hang on a small tree. These small trees will be delivered and set up at various places (churches, organizations and businesses) that have supported or want to support refugees through Asha’s Refuge. Our heart will be to raise awareness, seek prayer for refugees in our city and raise funds to help Asha’s Refuge continue assisting our refugee clients. In order to take an ornament we are asking for a donation of any kind. Your donation will support Asha’s Refuge so that we can continue to assist our refugee clients. You are welcome to write a card or letter to encourage the refugee you are praying for. We will be happy to deliver it to them.
We need crafty people to help organize and create these ornaments and trees. We will work with you to provide the supplies needed. It would be great to have small groups willing to help us decorate and put together these ornamented request for prayer and support trees. We are looking for about five, 3′, green, Christmas trees to start us off. We will certainly need lots of help with this project and most of the help will first involve making the ornaments. For more details, please contact us and let us know you would like to help.
