Our church, Fellowship Missionary, recently has formed a partnership with the evangelical relief organization, World Relief, to make a difference in the lives of the people who live in the African Great Lakes countries of Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. We have an opportunity to travel this summer (July 27-August 8) with a team from our church to support the work of World Relief in D.R. Congo. This team will be engaging in a Compassion mission, building homes for widows, helping with outreaches, visiting hospitals and orphanages, encouraging the efforts of the HIV/AIDs work of World Relief, and possibly other aspects of ministry.
Our hearts have been linked to this region of Africa for some time now. We know that God has called us to do something....even though the need is so great and our effort seems so small.
We desperately need your prayer support and if possible, financial support as well. In order to go, we need to jointly raise $8000 before July 15th. If you are able to make a tax-deductible contribution, you can send a check addressed to World Partners (World Partners USA PO Box 9127 Fort Wayne, IN 46899) Please write ‘VA11’ in the memo line of the check (do not write our names, only the code) so that the contribution goes into our account. Thank you for considering us!
