24 days and counting for Mission Trip to Nepal & India

In 22 DAYS My husband and I are going on our second mission trip to Nepal and India. We?ll be working alongside nine other team mates with established Vineyard churches in both locations. These churches play a crucial role in their communities by taking in orphans, caring for the sick, feeding and clothing the poor, and offering various other resources to the many people in need.

The Kathmandu Vineyard also supports numerous villages in the Himalayan Mtns. While there, we will be going into the villages to offer medical clinics, leadership training, and to help with any building/carpentry needs that the villagers may have. Last year, we raised money to provide many villagers with wood-burning stoves, and this allowed proper ventilation for the smoke from their cooking fires, which had before simply filled the insides of their homes. The stoves will help reduce the breathing and lung problems that are prevalent in Gadlang (the name of the mountain village).

My husband is a self-employed contractor and in order for us to return to Nepal, we need to raise the money for the trip ($4,500 a piece) as well as money to cover our bills, since he won?t have income while we are gone ($2,500). So far, we?ve been able to raise $5,000 on our own through family and friends. But we still need to raise the rest, so at this point, we are in great need of funds. But if you've looked at our wish before you'll notice the amount we are asking had decreased due to the money we got this past week. And I know it's more than is alloted from ROBINHOOD, but the question it asks is "How much do you need to fulfill your wish?" And I'm assuming that's so people know incase they would like to donate directly. Hope that helps. (more)

Provision for the Nepalese People during our Trip

We leave in 49 hours and we need $500 dollars for the purchase of medical supplies, food, & clothing, as well as to give ive to individuals to live off of. $500 equals over $36,000 Nepali Rupees, and in a country where the per capita income is roughly $210 we can really make a difference in the lives of many people.

This is part of a missionary trip, so if you do not believe in supporting Christian causes that is okay I just wanted you to know up front.

$500 is the amount that we give as individuals from the team to help those we meet. There are 10 of us going so we have the chance to make a huge difference. Originally we (my husband and I) needed funds just to make the trip, but through various other fundraising efforts we are down to just needing the funds for what we will do while we are there - $500 is not going to cover all of what we still need, but I wanted to just ask for funds that would go directly to helping those we will work with.

Some of the medical supplies we will be able to supply people with are: antibiotics, eye drops, cough meds, bandages, hydrogen peroxide, triple antibiotic ointment, reading glasses, etc. Most of these items we take for granted, but they are in short supply for most of the people we will work with. We do medical clinics while we are there for the villagers in Gadlang where it is common for them to get severe infections from untreated cuts and leech bites. So equipping them with some of the basics for treating cuts truly will make a difference in their lives.

With that money we will also be able to supply numerous families with food and clothing which will help take some of the financial burden off their shoulders for a short time.

We are really looking forward to the trip and we appreciate you reading the wish! If anyone is interested in donating directly, please do, we still need $4335 total. (more)

I am writting you all to join me in my fight to save this generation. I would like to tell you about me and how GOD changed my life. I was born into a family that never really loved me. My mother never showed me any love and left me at age 9 months.I was raised by my grandmother who left this world in 1996. I was lost and searching for someone to fill my heart. I turned to the wrong people and began doing drugs and drinking. I was a lost sheep. Upon moving to New York with my husband I was very depressed and tried to commit suicide. On Christams of 06 I was alone in my home wacthing a move called Kings of Kings when I felt a present like no other. I know it was Jesus. He assured me that I had a great call on my life and that all the things I went through so far was for a blessing for someone eles. I was A DAUGHTER OF DESNITY. A VESSEL TO GET MY GENERATION SAVED.Now I know many don't believe in God and probably don't want to keep reading but I urge you to hear what I have to say. Many people have told me I was stupid, I was dump and that I was never gonna be anyone but God had another plan and sent a man to me who told me that I was gonna be something great. I know am starting a site in New York called Battel Cry which is reaching out to christian youth or non Christian youth to save this world from the demonic presence. Please if you are interested in helping me on my mission fell free to check out the website [ link ] if you would like to join me on Feb. 9th 2007 meeting please e-mail me @jenn1816@yahoo.com. God bless you all. GOD IS LOVE, GOD IS JOY, GOD IS PEACE > (more)
