Upcoming fundraiser - Nov. 21, 2009

Our 4th annual Potluck Dinner/Silent Auction fundraiser evening will be held on Saturday, November 21, 2009. This venue will be held at the Free Reformed Church in Chilliwack (45471 Yale Road) just off the freeway, by the Pantry. Once again, there will be a wide variety of goods to be purchased (just in time for Christmas)! Please contact one of our committee members if you are willing to bring something or have a donation to give.
5:00 PM - silent auction begins
6:00 PM dinner
At this time, there will also be an opportunity to sponsor children in Liberia or Ghana if this is something you are interested in and feel God leading you to do.
Keep checking back here for more details as the date approaches.
Hope to see you all there!

Discipleship Classes

Once a month, Prince, our HFA worker and Bible student at Buduburam Camp, teaches a Bible class to our sponsored children. This is done on the last Saturday of every month and their time together also includes a meal. Here are some pictures of their most recent class. The kids enjoyed some Coke to drink as a special treat and some parents also sat in on the class.

July 26 Liberian Independence Day

July 26 was the Liberian Independence Day. Hearts for Africa provided funds so our sponsorship kids at Buduburam Refugee Camp could go on a field trip day outing. They took a bus and went to a beach resort for the day. We also provided funds so the children could have a lunch during their day.
HFA sent some additional funds so the church on the camp, where Prince (HFA Bible student) leads as pastor, could enjoy a meal together for their celebrations on this day.

As there is no electricity, all cooking is done outdoors over coals.

School/Church roof has been completed

The new roof for the IFEM Christian Academy has now been completed. We praise God for our generous donors who have made this project possible! This is such a blessing to these students who can now go to school when it is raining and the church can assemble for worship despite inclement weather conditions!

Here are a few pictures of the finalized project:

The Chilliwack Times heard about our garage sale/carwash/BBQ fundraiser and came out to do a report on it. This story was published in the May 9 edition of the Chilliwack Times:

May 2 Fundraiser results!

We had another amazing fundraiser (Garage Sale/BBQ/CarWash) yesterday! By the grace of God, the weather held out beautifully for the carwash, we had a lot of people at the BBQ and many garage sale shoppers throughout the day! We praise God for His goodness in this once again!! All glory goes to Him!
Thank you, thank you, thank you to ALL of our many volunteers that gave their time and donated items for this event. We definitely cannot pull off these fundraisers without your faithful and generous support each time.
Once again, 100% of the proceeds from this fundraiser goes to Africa as everything was donated, thereby preventing any overhead costs.

Here are a few pictures of yesterday's event:
