Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from STOBO!
MERRY CHRISTMAS from Save them One by One,
I wanted to take a moment to thank all of our supporters for 2021 and the past 14 years. GOD has certainly blessed Save them One by One with one of the greatest support teams ever! One of my goals this year was to reach 2000 children sponsored and because of our amazing supporters 2031 children that were given the opportunity at an education in 2021.
Although it has been a very difficult couple of years for mission work in general, I am thankful that I was able to take two successful trips to Nicaragua this year. I was able to go in July and again in December. What a blessing it was to be able to distribute those uniforms and school supplies to over 2000 children and just this month we were able to distribute food stockings to over 200 families. Those stockings filled with food may seem small to us but they are such a blessing to those less fortunate.
I am also very thankful that the church I talked about starting to build a little less than a year ago is well into the building process. Financially we are approximately half way to our goal. The walls are up but we are still in need of a roof, windows, doors, paint, etc. I know I have said it before but this project is huge to me personally because I feel like the biggest thing we can do as missionaries is to ensure these people have a place to worship and come to know Christ. That is the greatest gift they can receive. These precious people are currently worshiping under a hut and I would love to see them have a church building in which they can learn and continue to grow.
Save them One by One is in major need of partnerships, sponsors, supporters and people that will come along side of our ministry just to pray for the many things we have going on. A large portion of our financial support comes from me sharing at various churches. It has been a difficult year not being able to go into many churches to share about Save them One by One. Fundraising has also faced hardship. Although we have been faced with many struggles in 2021, GOD has been faithful and I believe he will continue to be faithful.
I ask that you consider what can you or your church do to assist with this life-changing goal?
Is it possible that I come and share with your church about Save them One by One and our life changing goals?
Would you or someone you know be willing to go on a trip?
Do you or someone you know that has a special talent that may be willing to help with fundraising goals?
Thank you for your time...thank you for listening...and please pray about how you can help.
