I have a list of people to thank, so here goes: Carolyn Sutton, Bert Tatum, Dr and Mrs Johnston, Marybelle Holstead, Sara Williams, Darlene Pendergrass, Mr and Mrs Joe Tuten, and Jan Norwood. Thank you all for contributing to the dig a well for africa mission project. We have now raised over $10,400!!!!! WOW. Every day I am in awe of what God is accomplishing. Each of you is a part of brining water to dehydrated childern and adults. You are a part of saving lives. Thank you for helping this mission come to pass. I can't wait to see how much we have raised by May 2007. :)
Ok, here it is, as of 10/13/2006 $9,360.55 has been raised for the World Vision Digging Wells for Africa Fund. WOW!!!! I can't WAIT to have the full amount to send in. Lives will be saved. :)
I have had many more donations! The Tree of Life group raised about $250. Some individual people have donated to Trinity church in my name and a long time friend of mine, Rachel Richardson recently donated. We have over $8,000 - the exact amount is unsure to me since some of it is at Trinity Church and some of it is at Community Trust Bank. I want to thank everyone for helping me attain this mission goal. We have suffered a bit of a set back - World Vision has increased the cost of a deep water well. They now cost $18,000 to install. I haven't decided yet if I should keep my goal $16,000 or up it to $18,000. A piece of me is ready to donate what we have already been given and call it quits, but the other piece of me is committed to going to May 2007. (a year from the date I began.) Please keep me in your prayers. Love in Christ, Jill
