12k Days of Christmas
It’s that time of year! Christmas is almost here! We are getting so excited over here at Ekisa! Can’t you tell!? That also means, it is time for our annual Christmas fundraiser! Last year – you helped us buy cribs and beds for the children we were expecting to come!
And over the last year, we have watched those beds fill with the sweet faces you see above. WHAT a blessing!
This Christmas season our goal is to raise 12,000 in 12 days. (!) Yes, we know it’s a lot…but impossible? We think not! Our God is one who MOVES Mountains! He is also a God that uses people like YOU and me to glorify His Holy name on earth; what an honor. God didn’t have to use us to bring the kingdom of heaven here on earth. But God CHOSE to use us. To do what God has called us here to do we have to raise a lot of support and so we humbly, yet boldly ask you to get on board with what God has begun here at Ekisa.
Here are three ways we ask that you would consider partnering with Ekisa this Christmas season:
Ekisa Staff Sponsorship
Our main focus is sponsoring our Ekisa staff members. This is our greatest need financially right now, as we honestly could not function without their hard work and dedication to our mission here at Ekisa! These women work long hours tending to each of the specific needs of our children with smiles on their faces. We have around 25 full time staff members, most of whom are working directly with the kids. Hop on over to www.ekisa.org/meetthestaff to get to know our amazing staff members!

Ekisa Home Sponsors
We're also asking for more Ekisa Home Sponsors. This is a very helpful way for you to give to our "where most needed" fund which includes anything from hospital bills to purchasing wheel chairs and therapy equipment.. As an Ekisa House Sponsor we ask you to prayerfully consider giving anywhere from $5 to $50 on a monthly basis. By being able to count on your monthly support we are able to get a better idea of where we are at financially as well as our ability to grow and take in more children in need

One Time Donations
And lastly, while we know not everyone is able to commit to monthly sponsorship, one time donations are hugely helpful to sustain this ministry. While the costs to keep a ministry like ours "afloat" can be overwhelming, we've seen God take the little things, time and time again, to do big things for His glory. So we ask that you might consider giving to Ekisa as you are able, whether that looks like $1 or $1,000...every bit helps and we are beyond grateful for your willingness to give of yourself, in whatever way you are able.
The best part? Everyone that participates in our fundraiser gets entered into a raffle to win the brand new Ekisa shirts! These shirts won't be available until February, but the five winners will be the first to own one of these amazing shirts!
Staff sponsorship = 5 entries
Ekisa Home sponsorship = 3 entries
One time donation = 2 entries

By partnering with Ekisa you are embracing this God-ordained season of giving, which is the very heart of our Father; to give liberally and unconditionally to the least of these. Thank you for following our journey this past year and for holding us in prayer along the way.
May your Christmas season be filled with the joy and wonder that is found in Christ our Savior!
