Hello dear friends,
I’m excited to share the plans we have for our ministry with you in this post! First I would give a little update on how things are going here and later on I will share about our plans.
The 15th of august we celebrated Independence Day with our community. It was a large celebration with lots of fun, games, dancing, etc. We also planted trees to create awareness. I have added some pictures to give you an idea of what it looked like.
The children that we are supporting and sending to school are doing very good at school. I am very proud of them and thankful that we are able to help them. Good education is so important for their future and also the future of our community as well, so I thank God that we can make a difference in the area of education.
Future Plans
Now I would like to share a little bit more about our plans for the near future. Right now it is rainy season and most houses here are poorly constructed. Same goes for our own house and church. Right now the roof is leaking and water is coming in all the time. The situation is not so nice, not only for us, but also for the people that come to our church. To change this situation for us and others, we have come up with a plan to construct new buildings.
Our plan is to build a new house and church building and we also want to build five extra houses for other families that live in very bad conditions. We already have our plans approved by the city government, so we can start as soon as we have the finances we need.
To start our building project we need €20.000,- and after that for every house that we build we need €6.500,- .
I know these are very big amounts, but I believe in Jesus, that He will provide in everything that we need.
As the subject of this email said, this letter is an invitation for you to work with us. I would love to work together with people here on our projects. I can arrange housing and everything for you. If you are not able to come to us, we would like to invite you to partner with us financially.
We have already started planning our Christmas event, which will be a big celebration with dancing, singing, candles and a stage program. Lots of people come to this event and this time we would also like to invite our friends from all over the world. So also for this you are invited.
If you are interested in working with us and visiting our place, please write me an email, then I can accommodate you.
I am really looking forward to working together with you and also the believers in our community are very excited for our building plans and projects!
As for now, I am still talking to friends and pastors in Europe and praying about travelling to Europe to visit friends and churches. Please also pray for this.
Please write to me if you are interested in our project or if you would like some more information. We believe that God will provide and help us realize our dream for better living conditions.
I have opened a special account for this project, so if you would like to support the building please contact me so I can give you the details. Also if you feel like you should give a big amount for this, contact me and we can work through the details.
I hope to talk to you again soon!
Much Love,
Esther John
