What the 10K means to us is all too important. Besides the fact that basic needs are being met in the name of Christ, you folks are allowing me to personally fulfill my calling, now the calling of so many who work with me. I take this as all too important. In addition, the local population sees these gifts as faith in action, strengthening their resolve to persist under dire circumstances. The locals have even began to organize and do some local missions, and even reach out and send small teams to neighboring countries to do mission work there. The teams and donations sent speak volumes of the importance of missions to the faith of Jesus Christ, and we're seeing the effects in so many ways. Please thank the congregation and let them know that this will put food in front of kids who might not otherwise eat that day, put books in front of kids who perhaps would not study that day, and put roofs over their heads while they do both. We are planning to raise over 100K this year to feed and educate, and this is a great start to achieving that goal. We will use these funds to add another 20 kids on the feeding program in Los Guido, add a few monthly scholarships to keep kids in school, and get the new roof built to eliminate the leaks at the feeding/education program in Los Guido. God will certainly take this gift and multiply it for years to come. In the end it's hard to say exactly what this gift means, but we'll look forward to sharing the many ways it blesses the people here. We're so thankful to be in this new partnership with WDMUMC, and we look forward to having you with us later in the year. Thanks so much again, and God bless you all.
