We are a little less than a month away from our mission trip to Mexico. We are currently collecting non-perishable food items and monetary donations to help purchase much needed items for the orphanages.
Last year we were unable to cross into Mexico due to the increased violence , but God provided a missionary who knew of a way we could enter safely. We also found a mission base in Texas that would allow us to store the food there. Orphanage workers were then able to return later and pick up the food for delivery.
If you live close to the West Plains, Missouri area and would like to donate food items or cleaning supplies, please contact us and let us know. If you live outside the area and feel led to donate, please use the donate button located at the top of this blog page. Thank you and God bless you all!

Is He calling YOU?
A group of orphans at the orphanage
Jesus loves me this I know, because the Bible ( and Blanket Buddies) tell me so
Do you HAVE to leave now? Will you come back?We are always praying for people who would like to share their love of Christ with orphans as you see in the pictures above. Many supporters of our ministry are faithful to meet the needs by working at bake sales, garage sales, festival booths, and holding weekly meetings. We know, however, that God also speaks to the hearts of those who can come with us- to hold, hug, and help these precious children. Is He calling you?
Even though we just got back from our Ukraine mission trip a couple of days ago, we are already gearing up and planning the next one. If you feel the Lord calling you to go, please contact us! This is an exciting opportunity and you will be blessed!

iGive
Do you ever shop online? Well, if you do, did you know that every purchase you make could help benefit Blanket Buddies? All you have to do is go to www.iGive.com/BlanketBuddies . For each purchase, a percentage is given back! Pretty easy, huh?
Heading back
From Anthony: is beginning the long journey home tonight with thousands of experiences that cannot be shared with descriptions of their sounds, smells or sights, but if you have ever been truly loved, you can know exactly what this trip was like.
