Update On Our Mission to Help Sheba Sunayana

Our mission continues as we near our goal of $200,000. The scope of the land project has been changed. This is due to the lack of funds to purchase the ten acres of land in Hyderabad, India as originally planned. The size of the land has been reduced from ten to four acres and the price is the same; e.i. $50,000 per acre, which means that the four acres will cost $200,000 dollars US.

On the four acres, all funds raised to date can be used toward the for -acre purchase. $121,000 has been forwarded to the CCM bank account in India and has gone toward the land purchase. $9,000 will be sent to India on Thursday, August 28, 2008. The landowners are expecting another payment (long overdue) and Pastor Christopher Boda is going to loan the CCM Orphanage $30,000. This will make $160,000 that will have gone to the landowners toward the land purchase price of $200,000.

We need to raise and additional $40,000 to reach the land purchase of $200,000. Once the goal is reached, Sheba and her orphans and widows will be able to move on the land!

Please reach out to your friends who might attend other churches and/or organizations and encourage them to help support this wonderful outreach. please contact Betty Wood for more information or to arrange a presentation.

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this; to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world" - James 1:27
