Kuwaa Mission October 2014 Prayer Letter

October 2014

Greetings in the Name of Christ,

“As we pray to our God and Father about you, we think of your faithful work, your loving deeds, and the enduring hope you have because of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1Thess 1:3

Happy 5^th Anniversary, Kuwaa Mission!

The Kuwaa Mission is having an anniversary celebration. That’s right- we’re celebrating our 5^th Anniversary during the month of November and many of our partner congregations are joining in the celebration. During the past five years, you, our donors and partner congregations, have helped build wells for safe drinking water; clinics for medical care; scholarships for technicians, nurses, and evangelists; training for well and filter care; school supplies and Christian education to families in the villages of the Kuwaa Chiefdom. All of these vital projects could not have been accomplished without the support of our partners in ministry. We are so thankful for your prayers and generous contributions over these last five years. We couldn’t have done it without you.

It’s not too late to celebrate with us! We suggested November for your congregation’s Kuwaa 5^th Anniversary Celebration, but any day that is convenient for your congregation would do. It could be as simple as using the Litany of Celebration & Thanksgiving that follows during your morning worship, taking up a “noisy (loose change) offering,” and serving a “birthday” cake following the service where you might play the YouTube video of the Mission’s progress. Or you might choose to host a Liberian meal on a Sunday evening or week night. If you have questions or would like more ideas for planning, please check out our website at www.kuwaamission.org. There you will find resources to assist you in spreading the message of hope that has been made possible by your faithful support of the Kuwaa Mission.

Thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do for the Kuwaa people. Now, let’s PARTY!

The following Litany or a similar prayer may be offered in worship as part of a celebration of the Kuwaa Mission 5^th Anniversary.
