On February 15th is our next informational meeting for the June mission trip to Ensenada, Mexico. It is not too late for you to join us! February 22nd is the next meeting for the September trip to Rwanda. More info is on our short term mission trips page.
Exciting news! Do you know about the “Home for Alice” project? Alice & her brother are both sponsored under Ten Talents Int. They, along with their 2 very young siblings and single mother, live together in a very bleak home. The only toilet is a hole in the ground (completely exposed) between their home and another home. The tin roof is full of holes and the rain in Rwanda can come down hard & fast many times. Here is a picture of the family outside their house now:-722903.JPG)
Our organization has decided that we can help this family. We have been raising funds so we can purchase a modest, but decent home for this family to move into. We have found a newly built house that would be a safe & livable for the family. What a blessing this will be!
So, the exciting news is that we are only $500 away from the amount we need to purchase the home for this family! So close! The children’s mother works hard to care for them and supports them by buying vegetables from the market & then reselling them in other areas, but the amount she is able to make is not enough to change their current living situation- but we can make a difference! If you would like to give, you can do so through our giving page here on the website, or by mailing a gift to our office.
Praise God for bringing us this far!
Blessings,
Lisa
update from Mike 2/12: Since posting this need we have received $180 through our website for this project. That leaves us with $320 still needed to purchase the home. This home is for the family of a Rwandan soldier that was killed fighting the same people that perpetrated the genocide in1994. The home we will be purchasing will still… See More need more work, so our goal is $320 by Wednesday and then another $2,000 by September. We will purchase this home and the family will move in this month and then in September we will bring a team to finish it. As is the home we will be purchasing is way better than where they are living now.
