Proceeds of the Sale
The photocopier is fairly self-explanatory. We simply need a new one soon?..
As for the Global Hunger and Development Appeal (GHDA), this gives help to those in need both in Canada and around the world. 75% of the funds given to GHDA go to Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR). At the same time, GHDA supports social justice initiatives within Canada and local projects in each synod such as soup kitchens, out of the cold programs, school breakfast programs and community gardens. You can read more on the web at http://elcic.ca/ghda/index.html
The sale will support ministry both right here and around the world.
"THE FOOT OF CALVARY"
"The Foot of Calvary" C.D. has raised $2000.00 for New Life Ministries in memory of Rev. Harry Lehotsky.
We continue to marvel at how God has used this C.D. to reach many people with the gospel message and once again would like to give Him all the glory.
On behalf of Billious Pond and in Christ's love,
Bill Rumley
