Over the last 18 months or so, we as a church have had the privilege of partnering with our brothers and sisters in Burkina Faso through child sponsorship, prayer and more recently, raising funds for mosquito nets and the provision of playground equipment for the kids of project BF201. There has already been considerable sacrifice and creativity involved in our fund-raising efforts thus far and it is phenomenal just how much has been achieved in such a short space of time.
However, we're not the sort of church that lets complacency set in, so we just raised the bar again.
Get ready for 6 MASSIVE MONTHS!
Our next challenge is to raise the small matter of £25,866 for the construction of 5 new classroom facilities at Compassion project BF201 (read more here). What's more, we need to find that amount by the end of June!
In many ways even attempting to reach this target seems utterly ridiculous - there's no way that a small church like ours can find that kind of money. However, we are firm believers that our extremities are perfect opportunities for God to flex His miracle muscles and blow us all away with His provision!
We'd love you to support us in this, so watch this space for project updates, fundraising event information and ways to make a donation.
21CLUB
This is the first fund-raising event towards the Compassion class room project. The 21CLUB is a 6-month commitment to contribute £21.00 per month for just 6 months towards the classrooms. We are looking for 100 people to rise to the challenge and join the 21CLUB. Together, 100 people would raise an incredible £12,600 - almost half of the total we're aiming for!
If you'd like to be one of the 100 who joins the 21CLUB, please contact us and we'll send the stuff out to you.
