News
Joel and Sally Moylan (with their Baby Makayla) in America have increased their projected distribution of lambs 20 fold in one year.
Joel and Sally Report. In 2010 we were very excited to sell all 140 lambs produced within one fortnight, with still weeks to go before the Easter weekend. The feedback so far is very encouraging, people are excited about what "Why The Lamb?" has in store this year in America. With enough chocolate, boxes and packaging to make over 3000 lambs we are stepping out in faith that God will provide the avenues to spread our great Easter product and pay off our newly purchased chocolatiers equipment. We want to thank all the individuals that have taken hold of the "Why The Lamb?" message in USA. This growth could not happen in one year without your help. Praise God!!.
Supporting the work of Compassion
Why the Lamb? is excited and privileged to continue our association with 'Compassion Australia', a charitable organization dedicated to releasing children from poverty in Jesus Name.
In 2010 we were excited and privileged to be able to increase our giving to 'Compassion Australia'. Over the years we have donated at least 10 cents from the sale of every lamb sold to Compassion, with over $8000 being raised for their most worthy work in the past 4 years. Last Year however, in 2010, we increased our giving by 500% from 10 cents to 50 cents per lamb sold.
How were we able to do this you may wonder? Well despite world Chocolate prices increasing and our own manufacturing costs increasing we are able to increase our donations to Compassion because the majority of our sales are now being made Direct to the Public. By doing this we are able to retain a greater proportion of the profits in-house instead of the profits going to the Retailers.
Instrumental in enabling Compassion begin New Program
Last year around 6000 lambs were distributed and around $3000 was raised for the work of Compassion Australia. Your custom made it possible for Why the Lamb?, to enable Compassion Australia to Begin a Child Survival Program in Sri Lanka (A Program designed to reach and protect the lives of younger vulnerable children, prevent premature death, secure good health, and enable positive Early Child Development).
WTL? support Beehive Industries WA
We are pleased to be associated with Beehive Industries WA who this year were responsible for folding some 6,000 gift boxes for Why the Lamb? Through their organisation we are pleased to be able to provide meaningful employment to Seniors and Disabled.
Chocolate Lambs Nation Wide
Why the Lamb? has established markets throughout Australia with a number of bookstores carrying our products Nationwide. Many smaller outlets also carry our products. We are constantly expanding and we encourage and are happy to include new outlets. We have found due to melting issues the best way of getting hold of our products, outside of Western Australia, is from our Eastern States and Overseas Distributors.
Great way of fundraising!
Many Churches and Schools use our products for Fundraising. In 2008 the Catholic Church in Busselton raised over $700 towards their mission projects and The Kings College in Wellard raised a similar amount. Fundraising has a 3 fold benefit, it raises money for your project, whilst helping reclaim Easter for Christ, and also ultimately raises money for Compassion.
We are also pleased to be able to inform you the funds raised for 'Compassion Australia' will be used specifically in their "Child Survival Program" which aims to reach and protect the lives of younger vulnerable children, prevent premature death, secure good health, and enable positive early child development.
WTL? Gets International Recognition
International Ministries, Pastors and Individuals continue to send their congratulations, prayers and exhortations including, Rick Warren and the Purpose Driven Life team who wrote: What a wonderful idea, we can see this is from God, we will be praying for you! Hallelujah!
Expanding again...
Why the lamb? expanded yet again in 2008, now needing 2 separate Perth Chocolate Companies to keep up with demand. Fremantle Chocolate Factory have been contracted to make our smaller solid 50g lambs and Whistlers will continue making our New Large 150g Lamb's made with Hollow Spinning Moulds. All Lambs are made using Quality Swiss Coverture Chocolate.
'Why The Lamb?', Sponsors 'Impact World Tour'
During the months of February and March 2007, Impact World Tour (IWT) impacted the City of Perth and the surrounding suburbs. With over 150 team members from around the globe and a vibrant challenging message they used innovative ways, including dance, feat's of strength, BMX riders, skate boarding and more to present the gospel. We were excited and blessed to be able to support their mission financially.
