"Worship God, Change the World!"
World Mandate 2012 Waco, TX
5,000 people, awesome worship, amazing speakers, rich times of prayer, hilarious laughter, and IMPACT NOW - a creative place to engage and do something to CHANGE THE WORLD! We love the vision, the heart, the passion behind World Mandate - it's a place to catch vision, to be inspired, and to be moved into action for God's purposes in the world.
In September 2011, Isabelle designed a WM exclusive card in order to raise funds to build a home in Rukore Village, Uganda. She sold out of the 300 boxes and we had to take orders for more. The home was built in March 2012 and the children have moved in! This completed her 9th home!!
This year for WM, Isabelle designed a new card based on photos she'd seen of the home in Rukore, Uganda. We took 400 boxes - that's 4000 cards to sell with all of the proceeds going to the life care costs for the children living in that home for 3 years. She sold out all 400 boxes and raised over $9,000 in less than 48 hours. We loved watching God move powerfully!!!
Here are some photos and highlights....

Elijah, Isabelle, and Ethan
Isabelle met Elijah last year, he found her at the last minute as we were leaving. He brought Isabelle $3 from his own piggy bank for her to help orphans. (See the photo and story here) World Mandate 2011 He said that God had told him to give it to her. Elijah heard God and responded. This year, Isabelle ran into their family again. Their sweet mom, emailed me that she overheard the boys talking....Ethan said, "Isabelle Redford is awe-some! I love that she does whatever Jesus tells her to!"
We want to say to you Ethan, your heart last year to hear God and respond by giving Isabelle $3, has stayed with us all year. Thank you for hearing God and obeying him. Thank you for sharing your heart and your family with us. We love that the body of Christ is coming together to Worship God and Change the World!!! |

| ISABELLE'S SPACE - it was designed to look just like her card! She recognized it immediately. Hanging over the space was a clothes line with 400 clothes pins. Every time we sold a box of cards we took down 1 clothes pin until they were all gone!! |
