Attention: Oprah Winfrey
From: Embalenhle SDA Church
Date: 08 Feb. 08
RE: REQUEST FOR DONATIONS FOR BUILDING A CHURCH
Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We the members of Embalenhle Seventh Day Adventist Church are engaged in a project to build a church in Embalenhle Township in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa. We are kindly requesting donations to complement our own efforts towards this project.
The foundation of the building has already been completed and we are currently seeking assistance for, amongst other things, the walls, the roof and interior decor. The total cost of the remaining work for the project completion is approximately R600 000.00, the breakdown which is given in the table below.
Project Cost Items Amount
Walls, Windows and Doors R200 000. 00
Roof and Ceiling R200 000. 00
Church Interior (Tiles, painting, electricity) R100 000. 00
Fence, parking R100 000. 00
Total R600 000. 00
Embalenhle Township has approximately 400 000 residents most of whom are either low income earners or are not working at all. We intend to improve the situation for this community by utilising this building for the following:
1. Church services
2. Crusades for evangelism
3. Christian Pre-School
4. Community relief centre that will be offering:
• Soup and food for the underprivileged members of the community without anything to eat
• Lessons for cooking healthy food
• Youth spiritual lessons and activities
• Clothes and food parcel distributions to the underprivileged members of the community
Your assistance in helping us in our efforts to realise the abovementioned goals will be greatly appreciated. We are thus open to receiving any form of assistance from you. Do not hesitate to contact our Church elder and clerk, whose numbers are appended below, for any clarifications and additional information you may need. We have also attached the pictures of the building showing the work that has been done to date together with details of our bank account.
May the good Lord Jesus Christ, be with you and richly bless you, as you lend a hand in the building of his temple.
Yours faithfully,
The Embalenhle Seventh Day Church Members

Dear Sir,

I am Uday Kiran Patta from India, authorized person of Pedagantyada Zion Peace Fellowship Association (PZPFA), registered under Andhra Pradesh Societies registration Act 35 of 2001. Our organization was established in the year 2002 and was registered under Foreign Currency Regulation Act (FCRA) issued in the year 2009.(PZPFA) is a non-profit Christian service organization purely for the Christian community. I heard about your organizations role in supporting funding services to needy Christian Organizations.
We have nearly 15 churches running in some really remote and tribal places, which are in very bad environmental conductions. Where, we are expecting to up-rise the church conditions and support the needy church members. We have some project proposals to empowering the Christian community and building some new churches. I would like to henceforth request you to visit our places to get a clear picture of the field and show a way to share our proposals with your organization and be partner with your work.

Thanking you,
Uday Kiran Patta.
Vizianagaram,
Andhra Pradesh,
India.

Church: Nazarene Mission
Address: 47A, Rodrigo Place, Colombo 15, Sri Lanka.
Dear Brother in Christ,
I greet you in the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and encourage you to read the following note with an open heart concerning the need presented here.
In 2009 despite my declining health - God has been merciful on many fronts: foremost of those being that I have acquired a Building Plot, an 8.6 Perch of land (2201 sq ft) to house the Church of Nazarene Mission in the city of Colombo. That was actualization of hope, witnessed through conscious effort and prayer. A permanent place for worship has been my vision for years- So I had made a giant stride in that direction by paying a down payment in January 2009. Praise God I have now completed all payments for the land. I am planning a two storey building on this land to house the church over the dwelling unit on the ground floor. This landmark endeavour has to be a special project of church building, which calls for a re-doubling of our efforts in terms of finances.
I personally feel that I must embark on this project to lay a firm foundation for the continuance of the work of Nazarene Mission’s Ministry in the service to the Lord, both in Colombo and with the Branch Churches.
It is indeed, a sense of hope that propelled me to step out to fulfill this long felt need. In all earnestness, I now look forward to some extra solid support towards this project and also some assistance however small that may be, from the like-minded benefactors.
There is no connection between The Nazarene Mission and any organization with “Nazarene” in its name. If a co-incidence of names has been holding you back from becoming involved in my work, please be assured that you would be supporting a ministry without its own denominational resources.
In conclusion, please search your heart and give what the Lord places in your heart to share. We at our ministry pray for all your good work for our Lord
The size of the land is: 2201 Sq.ft.
The proposed building space is 1500 Sq.ft
The total use of Sq.ft for Ground & 1st floor 3000 sq ft
Full contract (labor with material) per sq. ft $25 US
The total amount to complete the building is:$76360 US
The available finance is:$2075 US
Still we need finance to complete the building is:$74285 US
Blessings in Christ,
Pastor. Abraham Emmanuel
The Nazarene Mission is partnered with Into All The World :http://www.iatw.ca/
IATW independently assures accountability to you as a supporter of the Nazarene Mission of Sri Lanka.

HELLO DEAR,
I Write to you with the joy of the LORD JESUS CHRIST,by whose suffering and humiliation on the cross at GOLGOTHA we are made pure and clean of sin,iam a lugbara coming from a not well known of area in northern Uganda called Nabongo village,in Aupi parish,Drajini sub-county Yumbe district.
iam bringing the plight of the locals in this area to your attention,a few years ago we began constructing a catholic church in this area but the project stalled after we experienced a shortage of finances,we kindly request donations or assistance to help us towards this goal of building a house for the Lord,the MOST HOLY GOD.
St Paul explained to us "....for God loves a cheerful giver.And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." 2 Corinthians 9:7-8
we shall be very grateful for your well deserved and much needed help in helping us achieve this project
for more information contact jcandia60@aol.com
GOD BE WITH YOU AND MAY HIS BLESSINGS ABUNDANTLY BE ON YOU.

Dear brothers and sisters, it is very important that we look in our deep conscience to reach out to the needy, love them as ourselves like Jesus commanded us to. We always over look the great commandment but always talk about the great commission, remember that Jesus gave us a great commandment too to fulfill on His behalf, so it my pleasure to make you aware that because of that there is a church that I know that is going to be putted out of there building because of their non payment and it is not too much to help, please if you read this statement and become concern about the situation support them for the cause of Jesus and be blessed among all. Their website is www.bbhfc.org
God bless.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Taurus

Get involved in financial transactions at your peril under today's Lunar Eclipse, because certain people will use them as a stick to beat you with. For instance, if you ask someone to lend you money they'll either make you feel guilty about it or dredge up all sorts of past instances when their trust was betrayed. You would also be well advised to avoid any show of possessiveness or jealousy, even if you feel it, unless you truly don't care about the disastrous outcome.
