Teddy Bears of Love

Physical touch is important to everyone, but especially to children during their early years. The developmental benefits are substantial.

Teddy bears and other stuffed animals have been a normal part of growing up in the USA. Most children in America have numerous stuffed animals which, though useful at one time, now sit idle. Kids grow up!

Would you like to put your stuffed animals to more good use? Gospelink has a way for you to give them to an orphan or a poor child in another nation. For some this may be their only toy. They will love it and cherish it like a special friend. Gospelink will personally distribute all these stuffed animals to these children and tell them about Jesus, too.

If you would like to help Gospelink with this project, we ask you to do two things:

Mail your stuffed animal to our container shipment facility. Thomson Metals generously donates all the sheet metal for the roofs at the International Bible College, and they also handle the shipment of the overseas containers. First, make sure your stuffed animal (or animals) are in good condition. Then, place them in a box and mail them to: Thomson Metals, 405 Railroad Street, Thomson, GA 30824, Attn: Teddy Bears of Love.

Send a donation to help with the cost of the international shipping. This is not required, but would be greatly appreciated. We suggest a donation of $5 if you send one stuffed animal and $10 if you send more. All donations should be made payable/sent to: Gospelink, P.O. Box 4299, Lynchburg, VA 24502, Attn: Teddy Bears of Love.

Would you tell your friends about the Teddy Bears of Love Project? Maybe they will want to help, also. Your class at church may want to help, too. Help us spread the word!
