Thank You to Donors

If you are reading this, chances are you've donated to one or both of the ACC mission trips. If so, thank you so much. You have made my job as treasurer one of thanksgiving, for we have truly been blessed. Especially in the past couple of weeks, there has been a lot of activity - I'm happy to report that we have exceeded our goals and expectations. Gifts from individual church members, combined with support for the group's fundraising efforts, have reduced the travel costs to La Romana, Dominican Republic by $250 per missionary. And on Monday, the Mission and Outreach Committee voted to give $5,000 in combined support for both mission trips. Hallelujah! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Not only does this ease the financial burden on those traveling, but it also allows more medicine and supplies to be taken to those in need. Thank you so much to the committee and to our donors.

As we move forward to the trips and through the mission activities onsite, look to this blog for posts from each of the missionaries. We want you, our donors, to see what you have made possible, to know the stories of the lives you've touched and to hear us witness to the 'God moments' that are there for those with eyes to see. With His help and your support, we will be in the right place at the right time, with the right supplies. We have no way of knowing the things that are in store for us, but just as you have had faith in us, we have faith that these trips will be life changing, both for us and for the people we serve. We seek to be God's hands and feet, the body of Christ, filled with hope and the Holy Spirit. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your help in fulfilling this dream.
