Forgo the fast food, send your money to Africa

Timothy Project
Daily Prayer Walk--Leadership Development in Africa

Thanks Dave Martin for photo
If you give up one fast food meal a week, like one of the 10 meals under $10, then you could make a difference in the world for eternity rather than watching your waistline expand or feel like you are not getting what you paid for. Instead, you could direct funds to helping develop godly leadership in the Central African Republic. 

I praise God for our partnership with Sylvain & Herodia Sangassere. Sylvain & Herodia are from the Senbegan Grace Brethren Church in Bossangoa. Sylvain was a teacher of the boys group in his church conducting one-on-one bible studies with the young men. Both Sylvain & Herodia sang in the church choir.  They did not have children of their own when they left for Bangui, but take care of two young relatives. 

Sylvain is a student now at the Grace Brethren Theological Seminary in Bangui, Central African Republic (CAR). God blessed them with their first child, Henrieta Grace. Wooster Grace provided a scholarship for the Sangassere's, just like many other people and churches through Grace Brethren International Ministries (GBIM).  You can sponsor a student and his family by contacting GBIM.  Your funds can help propel another equipped shepherd to develop all people into fully devoted followers of Christ.

In Sylvain's own words from a letter that he sent to our church, "After my study, I would tell about God everywhere in the world." Amen!  Sponsor a seminary student today!
