With Christmas just around the corner, many of you will be looking for a way for your children to give back. There are many great things that they could do, but I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you a ministry created by a young buy in Honduras.
LEGOS of LOVE
In 2010 this Aiden Waits had an idea. You see, just like most American boys his age, he loves LEGOS. He likes to build and create, and is very proud to show off what he has made, and thought up. If you have boys, I’m sure your house is blessed with Lego’s. Well, Aiden lives in Honduras with his family. They serve as Missionaries with Reach Out Honduras Ministries. Aiden began to think of ways he could serve along with his parents. I’m sure he tossed around many ideas before God laid it on his heart to share his love for Lego’s with the children of Puerto Lempira Honduras.
In the spring of 2010 Aiden launched his ministry and began collecting LEGOS. After month of collecting, and receiving many donations from the US, Aiden was able to give small bags of LEGOS to the children in his town for Christmas. Some of these children had never played with LEGOS before. Aiden stated that it was “AWESOME, to see their faces light up.” Aiden used this ministry to share the love of Christ in an unconventional way. It has opened many doors for him and his family to share the love of Christ.

Aiden’s is excited about continuing this ministry this Christmas. To donate LEGOS send them to Reach Out Honduras, P.O. Box 2993, McKinney, Texas 75070. This would be a great opportunity for your children to share something they love with those less fortunate.
