When I agreed to take a Kingdom Assignment I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to help the Matt Clark Foundation that at that time was raising money for a communication system to be used at Presbyterian Hospital for young cancer patients to stay in touch with their relatives. What I didn’t have was an idea of how to raise money for this project. That same Sunday night Doris Miller approached me and told me that she would like to help. She even had an idea on how to raise the money. From that idea “Cakes for the Kingdom” was born. This project had been undertaken by our young people in the past with great success.
On Halloween night we met with Andrea & Jason Lomas, our order forms and notices were designed, and we began our advertising on the following Sunday. As of today (1/13/08) we have taken orders for 77 cakes! What makes this project so unique is the fact that so many people volunteered their time and the ingredients to make the cakes. There were a total of nine people involved – Doris Miller, Sue Tilley, Andrea & Jason Lomas, Kim Miller, Christy Davis, Lois Moss, Michael Barkley and myself. Without all of this help, making that many cakes would have been overwhelming. This was not only my Kingdom Assignment, but it became theirs also.
Our thanks to all of the folks who purchased cakes and thanks for the contributions over and above the cost of the cakes. As of today it would appear that we will have made $1,170.00 on cake sales, including a donation made directly to the foundation for a special Christmas project. Since all of the participants donated everything, we also can add back the initial $100.00. I would like to add that the majority of the cakes baked were done for the Christmas season so all were very busy!
Thank you for this opportunity to serve the Kingdom in such a special way.
