West Virginia Christmas Mission
Mission Trip 2023
30 Churches contributed while 10 churches sent 55 people. We ministered to 10 churches and 4 food pantries with $13,820 for pastors as love gifts. We delivered 160 new comforters, 70 homemade/crocheted items (including clothing, hats, and toys), 5 baby blankets, 520 children's shoeboxes, 32 food boxes of new children's clothing, 27 homemade quilts, 275 complete food boxes, 325 cases of food, 522 racks of bread, 5 cases of fruit, 154 Senior cold kits, and 65 bags of clothes, along with 15 bicycles. Our Gilbert Creek service had over 80 in attendance with no public professions of faith and 1 recommitment. The Lord also provided several opportunities after the service in which we were able to "plant seeds".
Thank you all for your support and prayers!
Mission: Dignity
GuideStone's MISSION DIGNITY ministry helps almost 2000 retired Southern Baptist ministers, workers and their widows living on very limited income. Almost 60% are widows. One of every four is a pastor's widow age 85 or above.
Qualifying individuals receive $225 a month and couples receive $300 a month. The neediest persons with at least 25 years of SBC ministerial service may receive as much as $600.
MISSION DIGNITY ministry can accept a gift of any amount and nothing is taken out for administrative costs--100% is used to help someone in need! All gifts are tax deductible to the maximum allowed by law.
Do you know a pastor or widow in need? We'd like to help!
