LOTH for Christmas

grey_shirt-medium

Christmas is just around the corner and just in today is Our New Christmas flier! We want this to be the biggest Christmas yet for our ministry to Rwanda, so we've set a few BIG goals:
  • Provide an annual rural Living Wage for 300 coffee farmers in Rwanda
  • Launch our new coffee ministries in the SopraCaf region of Rwanda and Haiti

To do this we need to sell 40,000 12-oz bags of coffee in 2 months! Or the equivalent of 80 bags to members and staff at each of our 500 partner churches and businesses.

Click here to view the flier full screen. Ministry partners can use this handy order form: just fill it out and e-mail to your Rwandan coffee relationship partner.

AMN Fall Network Retreat 2010

I hope and trust this finds you well.  Greetings in our Lord Jesus Christ!

We're very excited about our Fall Network Retreat beginning next week.  There are so many last minute details we are working through... including registrations, rooming assignments, etc.

The atmosphere of the retreat will be casual, but we desire to see very encouraging and helpful time.

I would ask that you communicate to your churches how we would greatly covet their prayers for us during this week.

We will have a drawing Thursday morning for everyone who has registered, stays at Rockbridge, and payed the registration fee.  First place winner gets an iPad (still in the unopened box) and second place winner gets a free Winter Conference Registration.

Look forward to seeing you at Rockbridge next week.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call me 336.404.2387

In Christ,

Alan
