MISSION MINDED CHARITABLE TRUST NEWSLETTER

Do Good to Please God

“Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.” Matthew 6:1-4 We thank God that now we are focusing on Phase 5 and the completion of the building project. We thank each of you who are working so that no soul is left behind! Please view the report from Brother Vincent.

Phase 5 we will need $33,000 for steel structural work including roof

Phase 6 we will need $11,500 Brickwork for top floor including windows and doors

Phase 7 will complete the church project with $10,000 for interior work. (Estimate only) no price yet

Total remaining funds needed $52,000

God is blessing this work and we are coming in under budget.

“A Growing, Faithful Congregation StrivingTo Serve God and Mankind”

Dear Family in Christ,

We are so thankful to God for all the precious gifts we receive daily from Him. To God be the Glory. We greet you all in the precious and wonderful name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you for all you do for the Church at Reiger Park.

Herewith attached is my qualification received for theology studies completed this year. In addition, here are a few photos.

Thank you so much for all your love and support.

May God continue to bless you richly in the work you do and support you give.

Look what God has done with your help! These are photos from worship service inside the new church building. Your support will complete the second level of the existing structure.

We are looking forward to starting with the next phase which will provide space for various counseling services, life skills training, a pre-school, an after-school center and

for the improvement of our Sunday school and current benevolence programs. This building will provide a haven where youth can participate in a comprehensive program of academic tutoring that promotes the physical, educational and life skills necessary to prepare and empower them for leadership in their community and success in their personal lives. We have seen too much crime, substance abuse, teen pregnancy, and academic failure, but all that can change by the Church playing a big part in their transformation. Now with God’s help through you we are close to making this a reality.

We are still in need of funds to start and finish phase 5 (a total $33,000). This year we have received $6,600 from MMCT used for the grounds and some interior work needed, such as a baptistry, plastering of walls and provisions for our missionary family. Your continued support will help us reach our goal to finish what we started with the Lord’s help!

We appreciate all your love offerings very much. We thank you and praise God for you!

May God richly bless you.
