WE NEED YOU!!!

If you missed our end of the year updates click here Construction and Loaves and Fishes.

But as you know, just because the groups have ended for the year, doesn’t mean Strong Missions is done serving. Our busiest time for the feeding programs is during December, January, and February, when the children are not in school. This means we are heading directly into the most expensive time of the year for Loaves and Fishes and we need your help!

LOAVES AND FISHES PROGRAM:

Here is a quick snapshot of the financial picture for Loaves and Fishes for 2014:

Received in donations YTD 2014                                    $53,401
YTD Spent 2014                                                                -$35,583
Account Balance                                                                $17,818

Program costs Sept 2014 through Feb 2015                 $40,917

Total Deficit through Feb 2015                                        $23,099

In order to keep our programs running over the next few months, we are searching for 40 churches, families, or individuals that are willing to donate $500 to our Loaves and Fishes program. Click here for information on how to give.

STRONG MISSIONS PERMANENT HOME:

In addition, Strong Missions is looking to build its permanent home. Currently, we are paying an exorbitant amount on rent and security issues are beginning to worsen in Carrillos. So, we have been searching for a safe, permanent place to hang our hats. In order to cover the cost of the land purchase, mortgage, permits, bank fees, etc. to begin building the new Strong Missions Center, we need roughly $60,000. Through YOUR generous support this year we have already raised about ½ of that amount.

As we continue the search for the property, we are also looking for 60 churches, families, or individuals that are willing bless our organization with $500 toward the purchase of this land. Click here for information on how to give.

HOW TO HELP:

Several churches have already committed to this fundraising endeavor! If you or your church feels led to help, please follow this link. As a reminder, PLEASE let us know if you have sent money to any of these options so we know to be on the lookout!

We know that some individuals and churches feel comfortable giving more money and some individuals and congregations do not have access to these kinds of funds. 

The IMPORTANT thing to remember is that every donation helps us to reach the final goal. 100 people giving $5 or 50 people giving $10, will quickly add up to that $500 goal.

Just remember, every donation, no matter how big or small will go to allow us to continue our vision of being the hands and feet of Christ.

Thank you all for your time, your prayers, your encouragement, and your support, we can't do it without you!
