Would you like to join a
cooperative effort to provide school supplies for 155 children or
food for 300 people? These will be my major projects this year
for Mission 2020.
Many parents have a
financial issue of not having enough money to purchase school supplies
for their children. Not uncommon for families to have at least two to seven
children. When a mom or dad or both work for 220 to 400 pesos per day
($4.40-$8.00), school supplies become a major expenditure. Local churches
struggle as well to purchase school supplies for children. With that in mind, I
am putting out an SOS to help churches to Supply Our Students.
Three churches with a total of 155 children will participate in this project.
All of
the churches that I work with started out as church plants and continue to be
active in reaching new people for Christ. A popular outreach/evangelistic
event is the community feeding. Church members invite their
friends to come to a meal and learn about Jesus. The news of this feeding gets
around quickly. Then, people come because a meal is being provided. Last year,
one church that normally runs 60 had around 130 at a community feeding. Two
churches will participate in this project of feeding around 300 people.
How
can you be involved and make these events successful? I’m glad you asked.
School
Supplies
Three
churches are seeking to provide supplies for the children in their community/ministry
area. The average cost of providing School
Supplies is 350 pesos or $7.00 per child. As in the states, different grades
call for a different set of supplies. For 155 Children, that comes to 54,900
pesos or $1,085. How many children, at $7.00 each, would you be willing to sponsor?
Evangelist/Outreach
Feedings
Two
churches will be providing a community feeding. Each one is expecting 150 people.
The cost to feed 300 will be $1.50 per person. That comes to 22,500 or $450. How many adults/teens/children
would you be willing to sponsor?
If you
would be so kind, please send your generous contribution by April 15. Send me
PM and we can discuss where/how to send.
Do for one what you wish you could do for all….
