We Need More Blankets!
Here is an email that we received from just one of the locations that are distributing blankets through Operation Cover Up in Zimbabwe.
Pastor Wilson is a friend in Mutare, Zimbabwe that we have known for 10 years. He writes..
“Hi Pastor Bruce,
Am coming from a distribution and I felt I needed to communicate with you right away. I was requested by Mutare Girls High School Headmaster to consider some of the orphans from her school. I asked her to compile a list and she only considered forms 1 and 2 and from there she came up with 83 names. We only managed to give one blanket per child but I could see that there was a great need.
Talking to the Headmaster, I discovered that the school has over 200 orphans and most of them have challenges in school fees. From these children some are looking after their siblings. After school, they look for vegetables for a meal.
With this in mind Pastor Bruce, I wanted to thank you for your heart for the children. I was in tears as we were distributing the blankets.
God bless you.
Wilson Katumba”
Blanket Distribution in Ruwa
I am also in tears as I search for ways to provide more blankets. Pastor Wilson has distributed 1,000 blankets so far and has requested another 1,000. At this time I know of over 3,000 blankets that are needed and winter has not yet arrived.
We thank you for the help many of you have already given to cover up children who need warmth through Operation Cover Up. The need is great and we would greatly appreciate you continued help in passing this information on to others to assist with funds, or any gift that you could give for Operation Cover Up. Just $5 will buy a blanket – no gift is too small to help a child.
Blessings,
Bruce
