Cooking is such a great talent. We've found it to be true that one of the best ways to get to someone’s heart is through their belly!  Maybe you and some people at your school could put on a benefit dinner?  Perhaps the school could sponsor it or maybe a specific dept? It would be a great way to show off your cooking skills and get your name out there, plus it could be a great venue to help the kids being reached by the Love Maputo Project in Mozambique.

A percentage of ticket sales could go to the project.  Or all of it, if you can get the school or sponsoring organization to pick up food costs. We could make up the posters and fliers for you to advertise the event.  Take some pictures of some of the entrees or even some video clips of you all cooking for the event and the event itself. Maybe give us some quotes from people that  participated and we could put it as an activism story on here. Who knows? It could inspire other people to use their talents for God too – or to get you to cater their next event?

Or, what about putting on a bake sale? We’ve had students do that in the past and found it really effective. You could maybe get together with some other friends, maybe with some other people on your floor or in clubs with you and see if they are interested in baking up some cookies & sweets to help the kids being reached by the Love Maputo Project in Mozambique.  People always like sweets, even more so when they know that buying some can help someone else.  What do you think? We could make up some posters for you if you like. Any video clips, pictures, quotes you get we would be more than happy to use in an activism story about you and your group on JESUSpolitik.com. You never know who could be touched by a story of what you did to get involved using their talents for God and these kids too.

Becky: Baking Goods That  Do Good!

Food that Fills the Belly & Fills the Soul!

Much of Jesus' ministry was done around food - from the first miracle of turning water into wine at the wedding feast to the miracle of multiplying the loaves and the fishes; from the last supper with His disciples to the feast we'll all have in Heaven together. Jesus knew well the importance of food to people - how we relax and open up when we eat together. It's a time of drawing together, that's why we're warned in 1 Corinthians 5:11 not to eat with those claiming to be brothers, but not living it. Meal times are  influential times for us socially.

What better way to encourage people to get involved with the Love Maputo Project, than over a meal? What a great way you can share your talents in the kitchen and share your heart for helping others!
