A few months ago Isaac Carter and the other youth of Lighthouse adopted out 55 piggy banks for what they called the "Pigs on Purpose" project. To keep track of the pigs they created an adoption form and had an adoption Sunday where people could take a pig home with them for the purpose of filling it up with change to be used for our mission work in Senegal. Since the adoption day, the youth have been actively encouraging the members to "feed" their pigs regularly. Cassi Colvin, another one of the youth, made an awesome video promoting the project. There has even been a Facebook page that was set up (Pigsonpurpose Lighthouse) to promote the project.
Isaac (who Hosanna affectionately calls "Pig Boy") recently told us, "It is a very fun project to do because people get excited as they see their pigs filling up. We have many hilarious stories from families about their children fighting to get to the pig and put the money in. Most families stop and pray for you all by name while feeding their pigs."
Giving with a purpose and having a little fun at the same time, that's what Pigs on Purpose is all about. Thanks to Isaac, Cassi, the youth, and everybody at Lighthouse who is feeding their pigs. I guess missions and pigs really can go together!
