Fulfilling
the Great Commission in Wyoming!
Here is information
about the Souterhn Baptist "Buckets of Hope" project.
This is a way that every Southern Baptist can reach
out to our Haitian brothers and sisters.
"Buckets
of Hope" - Feeding the People of Haiti one Family at
a Time
The
"Buckets of Hope" ministry is just one means by
which Baptists can fulfill the mandate of Jesus Christ to
feed the hungry in the name of Jesus. As we are reminded in
Matthew 25:45, Jesus tells us, "Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye
did it not to me." (KJV)
A "Bucket of Hope" consists of a plastic five-gallon
bucket packed with selected foodstuffs. For approximately
$30 anyone can purchase the materials and assemble a "Bucket
of Hope." The food contained in a single bucket will
feed a Haitian family for a week. You are also requested to
include a $10 cash contribution, placed in an envelope and
attached to the lid of the bucket, to offset the cost of transporting
the relief buckets to Haiti. Every bucket must be exactly
alike with a specific list of items inside. Please follow
the detailed instructions carefully. This will ensure that
every bucket quickly passes through customs and into the hands
of the Haitian people.
For information on the contents needed and instructions for
putting the buckets together please to:

Please follow these instructions precisely. The buckets will
be collected at the WSBC office for shipping and each church/member
will be responsible to get their bucket(s) to the office.
The gathering and shipping will be coordinated by Marvin and
Ruth in our office, you can contact as needed at 307-472-4087.
The deadline to get these buckets to our office for
shipment is March 15th.
Thanks, Lynn
