A Minnesota District Work and Witness trip to Mozambique touched Pastor Pat and Penny with the suffering of African children. God gave them and our church a vision of helping 1100 children, one child at a time, through an endowment fund that provides continuing support to their caregivers in Africa.

As the old man walked the beach at dawn, he noticed a young man ahead of him picking up starfish and flinging them into the sea. Finally catching up with the youth, he asked him why he was doing this. The answer was that the stranded starfish would die if left until the morning sun. "But the beach goes on for miles and there are millions of starfish," countered the other. "How can your effort make any difference?" The young man looked at the starfish in his hand and then threw it to safety in the waves. "It makes a difference to this one," he said.
To date, Starfish Ministries has raised the funds to support 44 children.
