Bethsaida Church in Bukavu has initiated a ministry they call 'Manna Ministries'. The above picture is their logo. It is the umbrella organization for supporting education for children too poor to attend other schools; supporting those who go into the prison to teach, visit and encourage; finding care and function for orphan children; supporting the fledgling handicapped children's program; and providing training and resources for rural pastors who have not had any support. In addition, we are searching for optometrists, carpenters, teachers, electricians, plumbers, farmers.......anyone who will provide even a short term training for people. It is ALL so needed! This year, I was given Crocs (shoes) for children, school supply kits, mens kits, sewing kits, 60 pair of reading glasses (thanks to the Lion's Club), and of course 160 pearl necklaces (search earlier posts for an explanation).
IF YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN COMING WITH ME TO HELP (even short term can offer more than you can imagine), PLEASE CONTACT ME!!! Donations would also be welcome!
