Nigerian children enjoying Guild toys

The following pictures show some of our toys being enjoyed by kids in Nigeria. My friend, Steve Rutledge, who has a ministry that sends Bible material to Nigeria, was given the toys by A Childs Haven. Steve works from a building owned by Childs Haven. Our members who made toys might be surprised that their work has spread joy all the way to Nigeria. Steve said some of these kids had never seen a wooden toy.

Dear Rev. Steve,

Greetings to you in Jesus name, Amen. Thank you so much for the children toys, I have attached photos below of the children playing with the toys.

The children love playing with toys always and it will be blessing to have more children toys and items for the children home.

Do you have bag of rice “food” for us? We will need more clothes for the children, so wonderful and nice.

God Bless You,
Rev. Godstime

Toy Build
2010

We need your help to make 2500 toys for distribution to the less fortunate children in the Greenville area this coming Christmas season. We need to start now, so starting at the July monthly meeting we will provide patterns and wood for you to make five (5) toys each month for the following five months. So if 100 guild members agree to build five toys a month for five months, we will make the 2500 toys goal. Please sign-up today and be ready to start building toys next month. Sign up by clicking here.
