2009-2010 ABWMOPAD Region Project Total Received: $1,700.82 (as of January 29)

Our region project this year (and only this year) is to raise $21,000 to help support our 6 missionary families in Mexico and the Binkleys in Thailand/US. This project was chosen after we heard of the special need of all of our International Missionaries to raise most of their own support. So far, only $1,700.82 has been sent to our Treasurer, Anna Lee Earnest. Some of you may have sent it directly to International Ministries or through ABCOPAD. It would be helpful if you could send Anna Lee the totals of gifts that you have sent through IM or ABCOPAD. See the Mission and Service Page for the listing of all the missionaries and to get more details about this project.
