#WeAreFirstPres Stories: Purge To Serve

by Covenant Partner, Melissa Crabtree

Several years ago, I was challenged by my FPCO Women’s group to sacrifice something in my daily life that could then support our missions partners in Madagascar. Rather than give something up, I organized a garage sale. My friends and I have more "stuff" than we need. It was a win/win — purge and give the proceeds to people who need it most. The annual Madagascar fundraising garage sale was born. This year, with a village of people contributing and working, we had our best year ever! Over $1800 raised in just two days — AMAZING! Praising God for multiplying our efforts to serve His Kingdom! We Live Missionally to love our world!
