Progress on Fundraising for Mission Trip

I am completely astonished at the progress that we have experienced in our efforts to raise funds for the mission trip. The support of our friends, family, and local businesses have been such a blessing. We are approximately two months from our first full payment for the trip and we have raised enough funds to pay for one of us to go. That is not bad for a non-aggressive approach to raising funds. We have been so blessed that our family, friends, and local businesses have supported our efforts. It seems that $7k is a lot to raise for a mission trip but when God is involved in the financial aspect of this mission it will be provided. We have not been real stressed about raising these funds because we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it will be provided. We would like to thank many businesses that have contributed to the raffle that we are currently conducting. These businesses include- Palm Beach Tan, Golds's Gym (Aiken), Aloette (Kim), Laser Carwash (by Walmart Aiken), Carolina Kodekan (Chris and Tiffany Garland), Houndslake Country Club, and Cheveaux Salon and Spa. All of these businesses in our local community have donated their time and products for free in order for us to raise funds for our mission trip. We are extremely grateful for everyone's support!! Chassity will be holding a garage sell this weekend to raise funds for the mission trip. Please pray that this garage sale will be successful and we will be able to rid of a lot of junk. You know the old saying " another man's trash is another man's treasure"! Well, we hope our trash is treasure this weekend!!

Fundraising For Kenya Mission Trip

We are in the infant stages of fundraising for our Kenya mission trip. We will be traveling with approximately 30 others from all campuses of Newspring Church. The mission group will be partnering with 410 Bridge who connects people and organizations with communities in Kenya, building a bridge that utilizes our God given gifts to serve one another.

”...and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” — Acts 1:8

We each have to raise $3500 to go and accomplish this mission that God has called to accomplish . This is going to be quite challenging but we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God will provide for us to go to the far ends of the earth to teach his Gospel and show his LOVE!! We have sent out letters for support from our friends, family, and businesses in a effort to support this mission. Your support and prayers are greatly appreciated!
