Need Your Support
Well, I'm headed back to Guatemala this June. I am leading (eek!) the team from my church, Hales Corners Lutheran, to work with The Servant's Heart in Guatemala City, Antigua & Amatitlan.
If you've read my journal entries below, you know what a moving and truly unique experience this was for me.
My church has been supporting THE SERVANT’S HEART, a mission started by Carla Burnell in 1990 to the Guatemalan people who live and work in The Guatemala City garbage dump. These people have been displaced from their mountain villages from years of civil war and they are “the poorest of the poor” in Guatemala.
The Servant’s Heart is a Lutheran ministry and an RSO (Recognized Service Organization) with the Board of Human Care Missions through the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.
I will be going with 9 others June 7-15 2008 to experience and volunteer in this exciting ministry.
The people who live in “the dump” have no hope. THE SERVANT’S HEART ministry is vital because it works holistically with these people to provide HOPE through Jesus that they, too, can have a glorious future.
As part of this mission team, we will lead several Bible studies / presentations for the children and adults, help train the young people from the dump who are being discipled and raised up as leaders, and teach a hygiene or first-aid class as well as doing medical clinics. We will provide these programs at “the dump,” in Amatitlan, the ministry’s second site, in our new Lutheran school and at two senior centers.
We would like you to join us and be a part of this mission trip. First of all, WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS! We ask that you pray:
• For God to equip and anoint our team for this experience.
• For the protection and safety of our mission team.
• That God would meet our needs spiritually, physically and financially.
• That hearts will be touched and brought to faith.
Secondly, we are asking for financial support. Our trip will cost $1700 per person (including airfare). The $1000 includes lodging, meals, transportation in Guatemala and all other expenses while there. If you would like to help us financially, make out your checks to Hales Corners Lutheran Church and put AMY KANT (HCL 08) on the memo portion of your check. This will allow your contribution to be tax deductible. You can either send your donation to me via mail (please send me an e-mail to arrange - amykant@gmail.com) ... or you can send your donation to:
We are excited to have been given this opportunity to use our talents and gifts to serve our Lord in this exciting ministry. We thank you and greatly appreciate your support and generosity. May God bless you abundantly as you are blessing us and The Servant’s Heart.
If you would like to also support my team by your generous gift of in-kind donations please see the current list by clicking here.
Please note: all donations are tax-deductible.
Serving Together,
Amy
