MISSION

 

We raised just shy of our $1000 goal over the holidays for the Care and Share Fund.  Thank you for your contributions!  The funds will be used anonymously as the need arises.

February FOCUS ON MISSION

Zambia (Mujila Falls) Agricultural Project

Our special February offering will provide Paul  Webster with the funds needed to continue this vital mission.  An envelope will be provided Sunday, February 7th.  You may use it any time during February.  Thank you for your generous gifts totally $1991 for the support of this project in 2009.  Through the general budget you also contributed $2500 towards Paul’s salary.

In December, Paul wrote “We are counting our blessings here at Mujila Falls.  Much has been accomplished in the past 12 months.  Your prayers and your gifts have not been expended in vain. Each day here we are making progress in producing more food, training more people, building a better training center, and bringing people to the knowledge of Jesus Christ…”

United Methodist Gifts Through Advance For Haiti

The generosity of United Methodists has been evident.  In less than one week, donations through Advance #418325, Haiti Emergency, had surpassed $2,000,000.  Gifts made through local congregations and annual conferences will add to this total.

======================

HAITI Health Kits

During the month of February our Sunday School Classes will be assembling Health Kits for the United Methodist Committee on Relief.  Supplies and monetary donations are appreciated.  Below is a list of items needed for each health kit.  Money is needed for shipping and to purchase additional supplies.  Items can be placed in Laundry Basket in fellowship hall or downstairs hallway.  Thanks for your support.

Items needed for the Kits are:

¨ 1 hand towel (15" x 25" up to 17" x 27", No kitchen towels);

¨ 1 washcloth;

¨ 1 comb (large and sturdy, not pocket-sized);

¨ 1 nail file or fingernail clippers (no emery boards or toenail clippers);

¨ 1 bath-size bar of soap (3 oz. and up);

¨ 1 toothbrush (single brushes only in original wrapper, No child-size brushes);

¨ 6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages;

¨ $1.00 to purchase toothpaste.

(NOTE: UMCOR Sager Brown is now purchasing toothpaste in bulk to be added to health kits before shipping to ensure that the product does not expire before they are sent.)

Belize Medical Mission

Thank you to all that contributed to the Belize Medical Mission for Dave & Andrew Ebert.  Dave & Andrew should be in sunny Belize in January 2010, when you are reading this.

We collected just about $810 for them to purchase medicines to take with them on this trip.

Update

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.  We have had a safe and rewarding stay in Belize.  Upon returning to Lodi, I purchased more needed medications with the remaining donations from the congregation.  The children get a lot of skin infections and the liquid antibiotic is in short supply.

Peace,

Dave & Andrew Ebert
