 Giving-An Uncomfortable Subject

 
Giving is an uncomfortable subject to bring up to discuss.  But giving needs to be discussed.

 BEHIND EVERY DOLLAR IS A STORY

          It is a story of a dear person who sends small gifts - the widow’s mite - a genuine sacrifice - because the dollar gift feeds a child a meal, buys a book, provides a piece of paper and pencil, gives a soccer ball to a school - minor things in the lives of the giver, but major things in the lives of the receivers.

             It is a story of a $15.00 a month pledge and gift that will literally change the lifestyle of a family.

             It is a story of gratitude from a couple in the USA who experienced their family healed and bonded because they, together, became involved.

 BEHIND EVERY GIFT IS A GIVER

        Every dime sent; every piece of furniture Called to Serve has given or made available for people to sit on, to sleep in, to eat around; every dollar for electricity hook-up, school fees, lunches, courses taken; every ten dollars used to advertise, to notify interested people around the world of needs, to make whatever is distributed here and in the USA professional looking and attractive,  so people will be drawn to projects to change people’s lives; it all has come from you, the gracious donors of Called to Serve. 

    We never lose sight of the fact that it is your hard-earned money that allows us to pay for the rent of the Called to Serve house.  There is a plaque on the front gate of the house, two plaques on the sides of the vehicle as we drive all over Tanzania.  Business cards.  Prayer cards. T-shirts.  Red ball point pens with the Called to Serve logo.  Letterhead stationary.  Your gifts help Called to Serve, a registered Tanzanian  non-profit, non-denominational service/ministry organization.

    Telephones need to topped off monthly.  Conferences are held (Bible conferences. Leadership conferences.  HIV/AIDS conferences, for men, women, children). 

    We praise God and thank the donor for our website.  Check it and it should bless as well as inform.  The website is www.called-to-serve.net.   It is a powerful and generous gift to make all aware of Called to Serve ministries.

BEHIND EVERY GIVER IS A PRAYER

Always we have been impressed by missionary requests for prayer.  Being on this side of the ocean with daily challenges, we are most aware we are being prayed for, but it has become a real experience for us as we pray for you.   With every encouraging word, from you, a prayer for you is said.  We feel your prayers.   We are hoping you feel our prayers for you.  We will  pray together for each other.  God answers specific prayers for specific needs, yours and ours.
