Hello Everyone,
This past Sunday one of our senior church board members taught on the biblical principal of tithes and offerings. He said that the heart of giving is not about following rules and regulations but rather having the same spirit of generosity that our Heavenly Father has towards each one of us. Every good gift that has ever come our way is from God and His desire is that we imitate Him by being generous people.
We want to thank all of you that haven given to the Joshua Tree over the past fourteen years. We have reached thousands of children, hundreds of lepers and provided care for many widows as a direct result of your prayers and financial gifts. Each of these people have not only heard about the love of Jesus and His plan of redemption, but they have seen that love in action through your gifts and prayers.
We are traveling to India in March to meet with all of our ministry partners in order to plan for the years of ministry ahead of us. Our plan is to expand the number of children’s schools that we operate, provide job skills training to people living in leper colonies, increase the number of widows who receive monthly financial support for their living expenses, and to continue to rescue young girls from sex trafficking.
We need approximately $6,000 to cover trip expenses and to purchase school supplies, clothing, food, medicine and other essential items while in India. We would like you to consider helping us with this trip and our upcoming expenses for 2019.
Please pray for the safety of our Pastors and their families and for everyone that the Joshua Tree touches with the love of Jesus. Any financial gift that we receive goes directly to people in need and on their behalf we would like to say thank you for being a generous people.
Peace and Blessings,
Cliff & Amy White
