She said that they use any extra money to buy Christmas presents and clothes for the orphans and widows in Nicaragua. Although Sharita is allowed two suitcases on the plane, one of these will be used to carry presents for the children. Thought some of you might have the same question.......
Again, thanks for your support. Checks should be made out to River of Life COG and PM me for our mailing address.
In the mail......
The above is the same procedure that we use. the cost of shipping is so expensive. So we allow one check and use the other one to take much needed items overseas.
Also their is so much additional cost that most are not aware of. Ground transportation while in the country, meals for locals who are assisting the team. We generally are buying several bags of rice for families and sometimes are able to bless the pastors with a little offering.
guarentee every penney is generally well spent by most mission groups. I am very excited for Sharit's trip.
If you would like you can go to
http://www.bennyhinn.org click on television in the top tabs. Then on the right you will see Archives. Scroll to 7/17/08 Thursday. click on it and TIYD program will come up. About four minutes into the program It has part of the testimony of Elisha Hinn (16) who went on our trip to the Philippines. She really shares some great insight as to what happened to her and the youth.
You cannot effectively love and minister to others when you are obsessed with protecting
and preserving yourself.
