How to Make a Difference in 3 Hours or Less

A big "THANK YOU!" goes out to the Royal Rangers at Lighthouse Worship Center in Hayes, VA. This group of young men sponsor a boy named Elvis, and they have made Elvis an honorary member of their troop.

They held a car wash recently to raise money so that Elvis can go to school and have some of the basic things he needs, like clothes and shoes and food. In just a few hours, they had raised enough for the full year of sponsorship ($420)!

The car wash was held at the church, just before services on a Wednesday night. The rangers sold hot dog dinners for $2 and accepted donations for the car wash. They washed cars for free to bless people who didn't have money or who hadn't heard about the fund raiser.

The boys feel good about it, the people at church were blessed, and Elvis knows that his school fees are paid for a full year!
