Words can not express how blessed we feel!
A few weeks ago I met with our Pastor Bro. Larry and M.A.T leader Curtis Brister. We discussed our Tanzania trip and how the church could help us on this journey. We made several plans including asking the church for financial assistance setting a goal for $2000, having an AVON fundraiser and also a garage sale. For those of you who don't know our church a $2000 goal is highly attainable to reach due to the gracious hearts our church has for giving. Bro. Larry announced this goal to our church family 3 weeks ago and in 2 weeks they gave $1945!!!!
We are so thankful for all of you who have given recently to those who have been giving since last year!! God has truly made you a part of this journey!
So where are we at now?
We are on target for or next big deposit that is due March 31st.
As previously mentioned we will have other opportunities to share this journey with you. I will be having an AVON fundraiser that will start on March 25th and end on April 11th. If you would like to support the fundraiser you have two ways to do so, 1) make a purchase and 50% of the sale goes to our Tanzania fund 2) offer to take a flyer to show your family and friends and return to me by April 11th. Also stay tuned for details on our upcoming garage sale.
In the meantime, please continue to pray for the following:
Our group as we prepare for this trip, safety for travel, our hearts to be open to see the needs of the villages. Their hearts to be open and accepting as we share the Gospel.
I missed the sermon yesterday due to being blessed in the nursery, however I received an email kicking off our week of prayer for North American Missions. In this was request that we read Mark 2:1-5 and a challenge of "What are we willing to do so that people can be brought to Jesus?" This is something that cannot be done alone. Again, thank you!
Katika Kristo,
