Update on Mission Trip to Bangladesh


I wanted to let everyone know that the stew was a huge success and to thank everyone who helped and bought stew.  As I write this I only have about 15 quarts left to sell. 

At the moment I'm still in need of about $400 for the mission trip.  So I wanted to let everyone know that there is still time to make a donation and to be entered into the drawing for the Kindle Fire HD.  Remember you get 1 chance for $2; 5 chances for $5; or 20 chances for $10. 

Finally, I wanted to share the following video to give you an idea of the life of my own sponsored child in Bangladesh.  I can't wait to be able to meet him face to face.  Thank you all for your support!

Meeting Munna...Win a Kindle Fire HD

 


I'd like to take a moment to introduce you to Munna. He is a 14 year old boy living in Bangladesh. He is also a part of our family. You see for several years now our family has sponsored Munna through Compassion International.  We have had the privileged of watching Munna grow up, learn, and share his dreams of being a teacher to help others achieve their dreams.

Now I have the chance to go on a mission trip with Compassion International to see first hand the work that Compassion does and just what our sponsorship provides for the children.  Most importantly, I'll have the opportunity to meet Munna face to face. 

Of course, like most mission trips there is quite a bit of cost in flying half way around the world.  The trip must be paid for by Nov. 1st.  Although we've been able to pay a little over half the amount needed, I'm currently $1500.00 short.  Therefore, I'm asking for your help.  You'll notice that there is a donation button on here that allows for donations through Paypal.  Of course, checks can be sent directly to me at 2388 River Rd., Stoneville, NC 27048. 

Oh and you can WIN something too.  Just to make this a little interesting we are giving away chances to win a Kindle Fire HD with donations.  Here is the break down: 1 chance for $2; 5 chances for $5; or 20 chances for $10. 

Thank you for helping me with this wonderful opportunity to meet this special young man and to serve the people of Bangladesh.
