Prayer meeting minutes

Thank God for a good Cambodia prayer meeting last wednesday! Please note that the itinerary has been slightly altered! (: check it out on the panel located at the right.


A question that was raised up recently in lieu to the fundraising- "Why do we not have donation coupons instead?"

Well, the answer is really simple! Through fund raising, we can show forth our effort and sincerity in helping out the children in Cambodia!
To get a clearer picture of where the funds would go to, it would primarily be channeled to these areas:
  1. the 3 lightning rods (that would cost approximately  $3000 each)
  2. the repair of the toilets. (approximately 1400USD)
  3. and the financial needs of the youths.

Continue visiting the blog to keep yourself updated! (;

Up next,
the very urgent prayer requests!
