Led by little ones

Tatriana Ponce de Leon, Andrea Bodden and Andrew Joseph Bodden sit with the mission banks that they used to help raise money to support ministries in Burkina Faso. When she received a mission bank and a prayer card last June, 4-year-old Ponce de León, a member of Ebenezer Christian Church (Iglesia Cristiana Ebenezer) in Apopka, Fla., set to work filling up the bank. She asked her parents, relatives and nearly every visitor to her home to contribute to the cause. She was one of 30 children at Ebenezer Mennonite who helped collect money for Mennonite Mission Network ministries in Burkina Faso. The children raised $277 and learned about mission workers Donna and Loren Entz and their work alongside the church in Burkina Faso.—Mennonite Mission Network
