Through Project Hope and Charite, our church (Delaware Grace) is going to team up with a church on location in the Central African Republic to start a school for orphans.
Our partner church is called SAKPA Church.
At right is a picture of Pastor Tizokoe, whom I plan to meet at the end of this month. The church is in a village just outside Bangui, the capital city of the Central African Republic.
This week, people at our church will be invited to give financially to this new partnership. The overall cost of running an orphan school for an entire school year is $4,000. Each family in our church will be invited to give at least $19 to this opportunity. $19 sponsors the school (food, teacher, curriculum, supplies) for a day. Your family can sponsor an entire orphan school for a day for just $19! Of course, many will be inspired to sponsor more than one day's worth, but it is really nice to be able to measure our family's contribution that way.
Our trip to Africa will provide many opportunities to meet with and learn from African pastors and leaders. I am one of several pastors heading to Africa very eager to meet people from our partner church!
