The young church that we are working with here averages about 300 people weekly, about 225 of them children. They provide schooling for the kids, light food for many who have almost nothing at home, and no hope of education without this school. The education they are receiving here is their best hope of finding a better life for themselves and lifting their economy and personal hopes for their community.
One disappointing development is that our team may end up smaller than I hoped, because the only decent hotel in town has 10 beds. That's it. I had hoped to bring more people. Please pray with me that we find more and better ways to accommodate a few more who wish to come and could help us raise the funds significantly.
We need about $25,000 dollars. Our part of the project will be to pour a cement floor on the top of the current church building, making way for a second floor. We also hope to bring a small medical team of about 3 medical workers and 2 helpers.
Already a plan is developing to bring a few more team members, but we have to figure it all out, and create the logistics for it.
Please pray with me that God would allow us to find $25,000, the right team to travel, and all the other details for this adventure.
And if you want to go, reserve your seat quickly with a donation toward your $1100 for the trip (food, lodging, airfare all included). We already know of about 10 people who plan to go.
