Orphan Ministry Update...
Mark 10:13-15 (The Message)The people brought children to Jesus, hoping he might touch them. The disciples shooed them off. But Jesus was irate and let them know it: "Don't push these children away. Don't ever get between them and Me. These children are at the very center of life in the kingdom. Mark this: Unless you accept God's kingdom in the simplicity of a child, You'll never get in:" Then, gathering the children up in His arms, He laid His hands of blessing on them.
Last month we began sharing with you the need for orphan care in Guatemala (over 350,000 children who need help) and our proposed solution to begin meeting that need. The initial property that we are seeking to purchase is available at a cost of $350,000.
We are now awaiting final approval for our new non-profit organization-Catalyst Resources International. Catalyst is lead by a USA board of directors and a General Assembly in Guatemala that is comprised of folks from the US and Guatemala. The proposed property will be owned by the corporation and under the leadership of the board of directors.
In order to fund this purchase, we are proposing to add to the entry area a display that will consist of 350 tiles. The tiles will be displayed as a permanent fixture to the property to commemorate the sacrificial gift of each donor.
Would you prayerfully consider committing to purchase one or more tiles at a cost of $1,000 each? This maybe paid in a lump sum or over a 24 month period.
In addition to allowing us to pursue the establishment of Mimi's House, this property will also be used as our team house and ministry center office. It will become the hub of operations that will facilitate the on-going work of ministry in Guatemala for years to come. Our areas of outreach will seek to continue to be a "catalyst" to feed the hungry, clothe the naked and give water to the thirsty, all in the name of Jesus.
After prayerful consideration, our family will initiate this this campaign fund by committing to donate $2,000 toward the purchase of 2 tiles. One will be in the name of our family and the other in memory of Paula's grandmother-Mimi. That leaves 348 tiles that are available for others to contribute toward. Will you join us by praying about this opportunity? Could you purchase one or more tiles to support this project?
Ultimately, it is about much more than land or a building...this is about the opportunity to reach out to the poor and broken lives that exist in Guatemala.In our next month's newsletter, we will provide details on how to go about supporting this project and purchasing tiles through Catalyst Resources International.
To be continued...
