In an effort to live out the PEACE plan, Imago Dei has partnered with the ministry Help One Now. One of their major sources of fund raising is Garage Sale for Orphans (GS4O). One June 1st we will be involved with the Raleigh GS4O at Hope Community Church in Cary. The goal is to have over 50 “booths” of sellers who have been encouraged to sell their excess, not just the items they no longer use.

Imago Dei will be accepting gently used items to sell during this event. The church building will be open for donations Thursday May 30th from 6 – 8 pm and Friday May 31st from 5 – 8 pm. We will need a few people on these days to help receive items and prepare them for the sale. Additionally we need about 10 people to travel with us to Hope Community Church Saturday morning for the sale. Please consider helping in one of these ways in addition to donating items to sell. For more information please contact Stacie or Nathan.

All proceeds will benefit Ferrier Village, a human trafficking prevention initiative of Help One Now in Ferrier, Haiti.

This Friday night, May 10th, at 7pm, Imago Dei will host a special showing of the feature film STUCK (www.stuckdocumentary.com) at the IDC building at 7041 Old Wake Forest Road in Raleigh. Admission will be free; however we will provide attendees with an opportunity to make a donation to the IDC Adoption Fund. The Adoption Fund, administered by Lifesong for Orphans, will be used to help Imago Dei members and others meet the financial strain of funding their adoption.
STUCK is an award‐winning documentary about the process and challenges facing those who adopt internationally, and the children caught in the middle. The film follows the stories of four children from Ethiopia, Vietnam and Haiti, and of the families who are attempting to adopt them.

The movie will start at 7pm and following the movie, we will have a short, general Q&A session with several families from IDC who have adopted both internationally and domestically. We will also have concessions and the books Orphanology and Adopted for Life for sale; the proceeds of which will also go to the IDC Adoption Fund.
Please consider joining us for this important event. You can watch the movie trailer here, and also read more about the movie and the Both Ends Burning campaign at www.bothendsburning.org.
