Six months ago, my husband Craig and I had an amazing opportunity to travel to Catacamas, Honduras to support two missionaries from our church, Chip and Lisa Bloecher. We filmed hours of documentary footage, put a new roof on a widow's house, prayed over the sick, and paid for the medical care of a man who risked losing his leg -- all because of amazing friends who sponsored our trip.
Because of the impact we were able to make, the Bloechers have asked us to come back and help them again in early July to document a group of volunteers from our church, who will be building several houses for families currently living in dire conditions. I've included a before-and-after photo of one family’s home -- no more sleeping in a homemade shanty with a dirt floor and a leaky roof. Now the family is safe and dry.
We will be taking 10 days away from our business, which is a significant sacrifice that will directly affect our income. We are very happy to give of our time and talents, but we cannot also afford to pay for flights, meals and lodging. Our goal is to raise $3800 to cover all expenses for both of us, so that we can secure our place with the group.
Whether you can give a little or a lot, every dollar helps, and you will be making a direct impact on the lives of hundreds of grateful women and their families.
We cannot go on the trip unless we raise all of the funds through donations. We’re relinquishing both of our incomes for nearly two weeks and cannot also afford to contribute monetarily. We really appreciate you giving prayerful thought to how you can help, whether through a donation or simply spreading the word to others who may be inclined to give.
Thank you so much for all of your support and prayers. We are
incredibly grateful to have such an amazing network of friends who
believe in us, and empower us to be the hands and feet of Jesus to
those in need. You rock!
Warm regards,
Leslie
