Good Afternoon GapFill Partners,At least it is the afternoon where I live, and I am enjoying a type of calm before the storm as I write this update. (My daughter gets married in 3 weeks...Yikes!)I cannot put into words how blessed I feel to be part of this GapFill community who all feel such a passion for Christian mission work. I do not believe you will truly know the impact you have had this side of heaven on Christian missionaries lives, and for that I humbly thank you. Some of that impact starts with...
Solar Panels
heat needed for a widow missionary in a sensitive area of the world.
Enough money was raised to buy solar panels for this widow's roof to supply her home with heat. To give you an idea of the type of woman she is and how she spends the money entrusted to her from you, she told one of her fellow missionaries that she should have a quote for the solar project within the next few weeks. She mentioned many people say they can do it but really cannot. She does not want to waste any funds until she is sure the work can be completed correctly. But then she laughed and said, "Now we will be ready for summer", which was kind of amusing. But next winter she will be all the more thankful. This type of stewardship is indicative of all of our GapFill missionaries.
Preach the Word
Speaking of missionaries in sensitive areas... new for 2015 is Kevin Rodriguez - preaching the Word of God in a closed area of the world. He will be gone one month traveling to different spots within this “closed country” preaching the Word and sharing the light of Jesus to the native people and orphans.
Northpoint Dorm
Another new project for 2015 is the Northpoint Bible College Repairs.
This may seem like a strange project to have on GapFill’s website but the winter in the Northeast United States was very severe this year (as in other parts of the US) and since Northpoint Bible college is the “breeding” ground for Christian missionaries it only made sense to help them in this need.
Review all of our current projects in the Current Needsat GapFill.org.
Thanks again for the impact you are making this side of heaven,
Joyce
