Year End Giving

23/11/2015

0 Comments

 
It's hard to believe that 2015 is almost over!  If your year has been at all like ours, it has literally flown by.  We are thanking God for all He has done and continues to do this year, as well as looking forward to 2016!  As I am working on plans for next year, I'm reminded that ministry opportunities from this year and for years to come are made possible only by God's abundant provision through His people.
Picture
We can't wait to speak with you in person during our 2016 home assignment.  The greatness of our God and the doors He is opening for ministry among the unreached here in Burkina Faso is exciting and we are eager to share about it with you.  If you would like to join in the work of church planting, pastoral and community support, it's time to think about year-end giving before the next tax year begins.  I would encourage you to partner with us in the Lord's work with your year end gifts.  Donations are tax deductible and they go toward reaching the unreached in one of the world's poorest countries.
Picture
100% of donations made toward special projects with Light Up Burkina go to the field.  No administration fees or overhead are taken out.  When you couple that with how much impact your investment has here for relatively small investments, it is a win - win scenario.  Join us in building much needed infrastructure to support church planting among the least reached.  Village churches, pastors homes, orphanages, christians schools, animal projects to help pastors survive in remote areas and provide for their families as they evangelize, church plant and pastor.  Motos for pastors, micro-enterprise and drilling wells are all ways that your year-end giving can hugely impact seeing God's kingdom expanded in Burkina.

Check out the website and feel free to contact us if you have questions or need clarification on anything.  We are privileged to be the people on the ground who get to see the difference that your generosity makes day in and day out.  Be encouraged as we see God's mighty hand and Holy Spirit moving among peoples and villages that have never had believers or a church presence.  Thank you for your prayers, support and generosity in walking out the call we have as believers to make the name of Jesus known to every tribe and every tongue on earth.  Click here to DONATE.

May the God of the universe richly bless and keep you and make His face to shine upon you!
Your brother in Christ Jesus,
Aaron

Community Development - Mangodara

New Christian school in need of prayer & financial support.

Picture
Last Friday, I had the chance to visit the site of a new Christian private school in the village of Mangodara with several nation church leaders.  We went to mark the location of the first phase of classroom construction that will start soon.  The land is between 2 and 3 hectares (approx. 6 acres) and is in a great location on the main road.  The first building that went up was the administration building which is now complete. (Below)

The national church has a comprehensive plan for primary through Jr. High that they would like to see come to pass in the years to come, as God provides the funding.  The next step, is building the first two classrooms, so they can start with a couple Jr. High classes as soon as construction is complete.
Picture
We are praising God for the fact that He has provided the funding for the completed administration building and now over 70% of the funding needed to complete these first two classrooms.  We are praying that God would provide the remaining 30% as construction begins.  The remaining funds needed are $6900 US dollars.  Will you pray with us as we ask for God's provision.  These schools will provide jobs for Christian teachers, administrators and support staff for many years to come, as well as be self supporting. In fact, the school will provide a positive income stream for the national church.  (Which will allow them to continue to invest in communities in Jesus' name.) The presence of a quality private school will be a huge blessing to the community.  Students will be taught the love of Jesus and see his love through their interactions at school.  Contact us if you have any questions about this project or are interested in partnering in this project.

Blessings,
Aaron
