VANESSA HARTZOG, WIN – NICARAGUA

Every year before Christmas we host an event called El Significado del Amor. Our youth groups in all of the churches in the association save money all throughout the year to be able to purchase hygiene products and toys for a special event for children in the community of one of the churches. Transportation is one of the costs I will be helping with. Depending on how much is raised by the youth, I may also need to supplement for some of the hygiene packets and toys. The event itself will have games, worship, and a message to share the gospel.

LES & DONNA GARNER, MEXICO

Our church in Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, Bethel Baptist Church, is being led by pastor Mario Rodriguez.  The church now has an opportunity to purchase the property that was offered to us this week  and is located next door to the church.  This property includes a small structure and a large awning. This would double the size of land they have and offer them many opportunities to expand and grow!   The owner has offered the property for a bit more than $30,000.

LANCE & AMY AUTERSON, FRANCE

The detailed estimate for our building project has finally arrived and came in at 350,000 euros.

With 320,000 euros in the bank, the remaining 80,000 euros will be our next obstacle. (Currently converted to $93,000 USD.)

STEVE & PAM WORKMAN, BOTSWANA

Eighteen more Sundays until Christmas! We look forward to partnering with you once more to send our youth to camp in January. It’s our desire to once again send 20 teenagers and young adults to a camp in South Africa. Our goal is to raise $190 each for twenty to be able to travel to South Africa.

RICK & FRAN SCHUESSLER, BAHAMAS

Every year, Rick & Fran encourage a Christmas offering for churches, local businesses, or as an individual for the children of the Dominican Republic. “There are 150 children that depend on us to provide two nutritious meals per day. If we did not provide the meals, they would be finding their meals from the local dump.”

Presently they have received 1/3 of their goal. You might be able to give $100, $250, $500, $1000 or more. If just 19 givers gave $1000 they will reach their goal.

Their desire is to raise $4,000 by December so that they can relaunch the church in January 2026.
