Have you ever thought to yourself: How will I spend the next 5 minutes or $5?

Praise God! We have raised $8,487.00 for our brethren in Papau New Guinea, surpassing our initial goal of $ 6,600.00 by almost $2,000.
During our initial assessment we had hoped to raise at least enough funds for three months supply of food, but we anticipated that there would be a need for up to four months' supply. Surplus donations will go towards meeting this anticipated need. Thank you for your prayers and support. We will keep you updated with the needs of our church family in Papua New Guinea.
