1 Peter 4:11 ESV
...Serve by the strength that God supplies—-in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Dear friends and family,
Did you know that there are 15 million children orphaned by aids and that about 11 million live in Africa alone?
I have an opportunity in April of this year to join a team of missioners and travel to Nigeria. In the midst of severe poverty, illness and homelessness I believe God does His greatest work. We will be partnering with Global Christian Ministries, Inc. and the purpose of our trip is fivefold.
*First, we will be allowing God to work in our lives through the personal enrichment that comes from this type of mission trip.
*Second, we will be visiting orphans, and encouraging local Christians who are greatly encouraged by our mere presence.
*Third, We will be doing rehab on a seminary that is scheduled to open this Sept. called the Institute of St Augustine’s Advanced School of Christian Studies ( S.I.A.C.S.).
*Fourth, we will be taking a medical team with us to offer free clinics for adults and children
*Lastly, we will be assisting with the efforts to host and teach at an international aids conference for about 300 pastors in western Africa.
Would you consider being part of this trip, first by praying for us to be fortified everyday and be victorious as we subdue the enemy in the Name of the Lord and take captive our loved ones for the Kingdom of God? Secondly, I am also asking for financial support to meet the cost of travel and other expenses while there. All these will cost $2,950 (two thousand, one hundred dollars). Please make your checks payable to Global Christian Ministries address: P.O. Box 6733, Libertyville, IL 60048 with a footnote indicating, for Don Tjader.
Thank you so much for considering my requests! We’ll be leaving on April 11th and arriving home on the April 27th.
Sincerely,
Don

Oh yeah I met Desi at our meetings, she is cool. We have a good team going, a few people from each campus, and a lady from Moody Church!
Somebody sent a mystery $3,000, so thanks to the mystery almsgiver that may be on Blogspot. You can rest assured the money will go to the needy. And like Isaiah writes, "if you pour yourself out for the needy and quench the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness." God bless you.
Thanks for an idea, you sparked at thought from a angle I hadn’t given thoguht to yet. Now lets see if I can do something with it.
