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.

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!
