Operation Ignite BBQ Fundraiser makes impact in Chidamoyo Christian Hospital in Zimbabwe

On August 2, 2009, Operation Ignite was able to partner with Adventure Christian Church, Roseville CA to conduct a Sunday BBQ fundraiser to benefit Chidamoyo Christian Hospital. The funds raised are intended to assist in providing food relief and baby formula for the hospital. We were pleased to receive $1817.90 as a result of this event.




Kathy McCarty provided some pictures after they purchased some baby formula and shared this note: "Here is one of the grandmothers who is taking care of her grandaughter's because mom died of AIDs shortly after birth. We are helping to provide the milk each month. A big thank you to all who gave for this project!"

We are blessed to be able to serve Kathy McCarty’s mission at Chidamoyo Christian Hospital and look forward to continually finding ways to assist those efforts. This is James 1:27 in action.
James 1:27: "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
