Raphaella’s Project

Send soccer balls, Crocs, and the love of Jesus to Children living in

villages along the Amazon Tributaries

Meet Raphaella

Raphaella is a missionary kid and she loves sharing the love of Jesus with other children. Her parents, Dr. Phil and Johanny Kittelson take short-term medical mission trips deep into the Bolivian Amazon Jungle. They provide the love and truth of Christ as well as medical help and dental care. It was on these trip that Raphaella first saw that there was a great need for the children.
(more on that later).

Raphaella noticed that the children in the villages loved to play soccer. But they did not have any soccer balls. Instead, they were crumbling up paper into small balls to use for their soccer games!

She also noticed that a lot of the children did not have any shoes. That’s when the idea came, fundraise to buy soccer balls and crocs for the kids and use that opportunity to teach them about the love of Jesus.

Will you join us in bringing the hope of Christ through the gift of shoes and soccer balls?

As of April 14th, Raphaella is 100% funded with $0 left to raise

“Some of the hardest to reach villages are in the country of Bolivia, settled along the tributaries of the Amazon River Basin. People wait there for medical supplies, doctors, nurses, and Gospel discipleship. They ask for teams to come, and we bring them.
