Dear loyal citizens of the Kingdom,
Once upon a time there was a princess with a big ole heart and a big ole dream. Now, this dream was more like a vision from the King, Jesus. No angels or bright lights appeared from the heavens. It was the sort of dream where she knew there was something more to it then just a far and distant wish. It’s a dream built by faith and trust in the King and compassion for those who don’t know Him . Don’t know the King!? This is a crisis! The eternity of lost souls is at stake! So, she set out to find a way to reach those suffering people.
Now, this princess isn’t your ordinary princess. She doesn’t live in a castle and doesn’t have enough treasure. Sadly, her dream has a costly price: $15,500 PIECES OF TREASURE! So, she climbs up the tallest mountain of the land and calls out to the people she loves, “HELP, HELP. There are souls at stake! Somebody, anybody, please help them find the King, for He is the only one who can save them!” Then she climbed down the mountain, and waited patiently in the valley for someone to come to the rescue.

Some of her closest friends ran to the valley to help the princess, for they too loved the King and wanted others to know Him. They trusted in the King and knew He would bless them for their obedience. The princess danced with joy as her empty pockets were now filled with 6,000 pieces of treasure!!!
This is how they helped:
1) THEY RESPONDED TO SUPPORT LETTERS WITH PRAYER AND DONATIONS! = D
Thank you!
2) They supported The World Race Chick-fil-A night in Clayton! Over $1,000 was raised in one night!
Thank you!
3) Current ways to help the princess raise the remaining 9,500 treasures!
The princess needs to leave by July 1. There is not much time. She needs your help!
