Mission Moments - Thoughts of Thank you

Here are exerts from letters sent to us -

"Wee Kirk Conferences provide the opportunity for people in smaller churches to get together to learn new ways for providing for our congregations. I lok forward each year to be refreshed, learn new ideas, and to be encouraged. Therese things are then taken back and shared with my church family." Jean Teskey, Clerk of Session, First Presbyterian Church of Poplar Bluff, MO. October 26, 2011

"Thank you so much for your ongoing support of the Roundhouse over the years. Your support makes it possible for us to meet the mission of those youth & families in need in our community." Sheila Ferguson, Chief Executive Officer, Community Elements October 24, 2011

"Your generous support of Family Service, First Call for Help during these critical times is sincerely appreciated. We know there are increased demands on your resources, so we are especially grateful for your compassion." Sheryl A. Bautch, Executive Director, Family Service October 20,2011

"Today we are helping 45 children between the ages of 12 to 19 on our campus. We are also overseeing the care of 70 children in our Foster Care Program between infancy and age 21. This year we will celebrate 96 years of helping several generations of children and families find a better life. ... May God bless you all for your kindness and generosity." Michael A. Havera, Executive Director, Kemmerer Village October 19

Thank you for standing alongside our clients, helping to complete our mission by unlocking potential, fostering growth, breaking down barriers and developing sustainability. Together we are equipping families with the right tools to change their own world and create a better future for their children. Bill Morgenstern, Chief Executive Officer, Opportunity International, October 25, 2011

In just 10 weeks, from September - November we are determined to build 2,500 Shallow Wells providing an estimated 375,000 of the extreme poor (225,000 children) with a sustainable source of safe drinking water. Impossible! Only through God's blessings can this be done. To honor your partnership with God in this miracle, we will send you a photo of the villagers celebrating the new wells you funds provide.
