L.i.n.c.

How do we spread love at home in our community and even outside of our community?  
Anyone that has ever given a gift to someone else has probably felt love through the excitement of the recipient, though a gift is not necessary for spreading love. A smile. A high-five. A compliment. Even a conversation. All of these can spread love to others and also be a way for us to be Christ to others. Share the gifts and talents God has entrusted to you with others that are in need!

l.i.n.c. is a non-profit organization that stands for Love in Neglected Communities. The mission statement as provided via their website states, "We aim to provide neglected youth with the support needed to alleviate hardships, promote well-being, and facilitate growth, giving them the chance to not only survive, but to truly live, love and thrive."

This ministry has developed through the hard work of several young professionals. Currently they are working to raise enough funding to build a new home for a community of orphaned children in Nairobi, Kenya, to provide them a safe environment with access to water, food and education.

How can I help to spread love outside of my own community?
Easy! You can easily donate straight to l.i.n.c. or you can enjoy a fun at their inaugural golf outing, which will directly impact the orphanage project. The golf outing is planned for Saturday, August 10, 2013 at 2:00 pm at Paradise Lake Country Club (1900 Randolph Rd. Suffield, 44260). Tickets include 18 holes of golf and cart, drinks, lunch and steak dinner.

Maybe you don't have the funds to attend this event, but you'd still like to spread happiness--so consider volunteering. Erin is organizing this event and would gladly share the volunteer needs that she has, send her an e-mail: erin@lincworldwide.org

Maybe this isn't the right way for your to share love in neglected communities--so find your own way to do so, but if it is a just right fit for you, complete the registration information!
