pastor gift & the nsoko need

Before departing The World Race Training Camp in Gainsville last week, I had the chance to hook-up with Jumbo, whom I had met while in Swaziland.  A monster of a man, but totally sold out to God’s work in Swazi.  I inquired about Pastor Gift and how he was doing.  Jumbo responded with tired irritation (it helps to hear this in a passionate South African accent)….”the man of God needs reliable transportation!  The ministry suffers when he is afoot!  We just spent $2,000 on his car and they didn’t fix it.  The mechanics say they’ve done all they can do!  To replace the engine is more than the car is worth!”  I asked, “So, what needs to happen?”  Jumbo, “He needs another car!”  Me, “How much?”  Jumbo, “About $7,000 to $8,000 gets him something reliable and trustworthy!”

I emailed Seth Barnes of AIM and he confirms the need.  I’m asking us to go to prayer on this, respond if you can and spread the word to anyone and everyone who has a heart for what God is doing with the Nsoko orphans.  Jumbo lives in Swazi and works with Pastor Gift, he knows the needs and what is for real.  This is urgent and necessary!

Yes…it is true!  One of our tribe’s daughters, Kara Dawn Frate, has been accepted to The World Race!  She leaves this week for a one week Training Camp in Atlanta.  Her squad (H Squad) actually launches to the Dominican Republic in early January for their eleven month mission.   This has been quite the process for Kara!  Let us encourage you to diligently and fervently pray about supporting her with your finances.  Each person on the race is responsible to raise their own monthly support.  She has asked God to raise these funds and we all should definately love on her in this venture.  You may contribute monthly on Kara’s website with a credit or debit card:  CLICK HERE ;  or you can mail your check direct to TWR…

Please mail your tax-deductible contribution to:
Adventures In Missions
P.O. Box 534470
Atlanta, GA 30353-4470   Be sure to indicate the purpose of your gift on your check! 

or you may give your funds to ECF and we’ll make sure they get to TWR.   It is so important that we get behind Kara on this!  Every little bit helps and don’t forget to PRAY!!!!

Thanks!  ECF Elders
