Dear Family and Friends,

As you know, we have all been called to carry the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ here locally, and all around the world. Some of us participate in this missionary endeavor through prayers, other through going, and others by giving.
I am excited to tell you about this group going to Panama on a short-term mission’s trip on Feb 4-13, 2011. I would really like to go with this group, and this is the reason for my writing today.
This year, we are asked to raise $1,400 to cover missionary expense, plus ministry costs. We each will be doing our own fundraising in hope to find people willing to participate in with us in this project.
The missionary group I am going with is the Alpha & Omega Family Ministries. They are currently working under the umbrella of Global Projects, an international non-profit women’s ministry group from Detroit, Michigan.
The Alpha & Omega group have been going to Panama for the past six years, and once again, the opportunity has presented itself for them to go back. I am praying and hoping that I will be able to go with them.. This will be their fourth trip.
We will be working in conjunction with the Libertad en Cristo Mission in La Chorrera, Panama and here are the goals for this trip:
Medical Ministry – This is done through health fairs in four different locations within the city of La Chorrera. We also take much needed supplies to the local hospital and take donations to the Children’s ward and Maternity.
Women’s Ministry – This is done through individual counseling, teaching Bible classes, and leadership training to women through workshops, support and prayer groups.
VBS/Youth – There will be a VBS program for the younger children, and a Christian Music Concert for teens on our last Friday there.
Construction- A family of limited financial means in the church is given the opportunity to have the group build an addition to their home or help with a construction project.
Kitchen – This group will be in charge of planning, shopping for and preparing all the meals for the 20-25 missionaries who will be going.
If you believe that the Lord wants you participating with us in this ministry, we ask that you please pray for us. The life and ministry of this group depends on prayer. Prayer is the most important thing you can do for us at this point.
Then, if the Lord leads you to help us financially, you may send your donation using the enclosed form along with your check.
We will be intentional about the spiritual preparation required in anticipation of the labor ahead of us, and to be open to how the Lord will be using us and you, for the expansion of the Gospel in Panamá.
If the Lord leads you to contribute financially, please mail the SUPPORT RESPONSE FORM and your check to the address on the cards.
This card must accompany each donation so the unit receiving the funds will know who to credit the funds to. So, please make sure you write my name on the card each time you donate.
Again thank you for your help, and may the Lord richly bless you!!!
In Christ,

Your Name goes here
