138. MissionCast – Festival of Sharing

For MissionCast, click the picture or one of the links below to view or download the video.

Festival of Sharing

The Festival of Sharing is all about people like Beatrice pictured to the right.  You could have heard a pin drop from where I was taping while Beatrice, now grown, told the 400 youth present at the Festival of Sharing Youthfest, about her life.  Twenty minutes of thoughful questions followed.  Beatrice lives in Uganda, Africa.  Her family could not afford to send the children to school.  It all changed when the family received the gift of a Heifer International goat.  With the income from that one goat Beatrice and her brothers and sisters were able to attend school.  She is not doing graduate studies in the United States.
The Festival of Sharing is all about making a difference in the lives of people in need here in Missouri, across our country and around the world.  It is an amazing spirit filled event which involves thousands of people making gifts for the poor through the year and bringing them to the Sedalia or one of the many Festival of Sharing sites around the state.  And it involves hundreds of volunteers on the actual days when each event is held.  This MissionCast shows a little of what happened in Sedalia.  Mark Saturday, October 16, 2010, on your calandar to attend again next year.

DVDs of Beatrice’s full presentation to the youth and the thoughtful questions they asked will be available from the Office of Creative Ministries.  Just email Dora at thackery@umocm.com
