We have at least 4 people from our church family who would love to go on the upcoming Philippine Mission Trip. However, if they are going to be able to go, we need to be willing to help them with their ticket expenses. This can be a wonderful way for those who are not able to go to still be a part of the mission in a very special way.
We do have mission funds set aside in our budget to help. However, our current financial status does not allow us to take advantage of the mission fund budget at this time.
Please pray and be willing to help if God directs. If you want to help, just see that Ms. Anne gets the amount you are contributing and knows what it's for, also if you are contributing to a specific person or just in general.
When the Lord gives people the desire to go, He also wants to make the funds available, so be sensitive to His leadership in this area even if you feel it's only a small amount you can give.
Also, please be praying for this upcoming mission.
Please let Bro. Ed or Ms. Anne know if you would like to help with this mission opportunity. Even the children may want to contribute whatever amount they can. It will be a great opportunity to teach them about giving and being a part of a mission endeavor in different ways.
May God bless each one,
Bro. Ed
Thank you to each one who has given specifically for an EJM van in the Philippines. We did not reach the price to purchase the first vehicle we were trying to get. However, the Lord works all things for the best. Now we have found a better box van that can transport 20 to 22 people, as well as luggage and other supplies and equipment. The box van cost $7,000. We have around $4,000 raised already. If anyone would like to give for this special need, please let us know. We pray God's greatest blessings on each of YOU!!! We pray a joyful CHRISTmas for each one!!!
