LANAKILA BAPTIST ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE 2017
Helping those in Need!
October 2nd Lanakila kicked off its 17th annual food drive. On November 20th, students from the elementary, along
with high school NHS and staff members loaded 10,867 lbs. of food into a truck and delivered it to River of Life Mission.
5,903 lbs. of the food was donated just at the elementary. One can of food, or one bag of rice doesn’t seem like
much, but when everyone does a part, well there is no telling what can be done!
“And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple,
verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.” Matthew 10:42
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
The Journey of a Shoebox!
It starts with You and results in blessing children in need
around the world. But it doesn’t stop there. Packing shoeboxes
provides students with an opportunity to actively
open their hearts up to others. The Word of God says,
“Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto the
least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me”
Matthew 25:40. WHAT AN HONOR!
93 BOXES COLLECTED!
