Dear Family and Friends;
This is the First Time I have sent a letter like this to you.
(Note: The area we are going to be ministering as I mention below is the St. Marcs area that has been hit so hard by the Cholera outbreak where 252 have died and over 3,000 cases diagnosed in the last 3 days)
I wanted to let you know that I am participating in a 5K and I'm very excited! My church , Oasis Church, ( http://www.visitoasis.org/) is hosting its very first 5K, next Saturday , October 30th and 100% of the proceeds go to missions organizations and local ministries we are partnering with in Haiti - a worthy cause and in very big need of our help! My goal is to try and raise $1,000 or more! I have been to Haiti and seen the partnerships and people for myself. I am committing much of my time and energy in the coming year and years ahead to make a difference in the lives of Haitian children and their families.
We will concentrate our efforts in the villages of Haiti that are neglected and overlooked by most aid organizations and large donors. It would break your heart to see the conditions these children and their families live in. Just to survive each day takes practically all they have, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Many of the villages we are going to, do not even have a church. Most have a Voodoo Priest who rule the people. We are committed to bringing the love of Jesus to these people along with clean water, food, education and medical help. Not for the short term but for years to come.
I need your help! If you are able, would you consider donating to sponsor me for this 5K? Any amount is fine, even if it's just $25. The link to donate is below. If you don't feel comfortable paying with your credit/debit card, a check is fine. **Important: Make sure you put my name and Oasis Church 5K in the memo line. Make checks payable to Oasis Church of South Florida, Inc.
You can give me the check personally or mail it to:
