Time to Collect Your Pledges!

It’s time to go back to your book club sponsors, let them know your reading results and the ways you’ve healed the world in March, and ask them to fulfill their pledges for the children Love146 serves in the Philippines!
If they’re giving $5 US equivalent or more, you can pass this link directly on to them so they can give online: https://donate.love146.org/bookclub146
If you have givers who prefer to donate at the end of the entire book club instead, that’s fine, too–as long as you’ll remember to follow up with them when we’re all done!
Check out how our gauge is rising, & we still have several weeks to go:
I also have a wonderful report to pass on from the Philippines! Remember Malaya* who read The Unfinished Angel as part of our club last month?
She was able to complete her therapy in the Round Home and return to a safe living situation with relatives, some of which she’d been separated from since she was very young. Reintegration with family is not always possible for children who have been trafficked and exploited, so it’s a joy when it is!
Please join us by keeping her in our prayers as she begins this new chapter of her life.

Find out more and listen with your kids here.
And as a special offer for our club members, you can use the code HEALTHEWORLDTRIAL for a one month FREE subscription to their stories, or HEALTHEWORLD20 for $20 off their full story pack!
