A $24,000 Matching Challenge!

Seeking monthly givers!

We have a big goal...

We need to increase monthly giving by $6,000/mth

to cover the 7 new schools we took on last month!

We receive many BIG financial gifts throughout the year, which enable us to take on new projects - new schools, clinics, and grazing reserves! Praise GOD! In fact, thank you to the So---s for your generous gift!

**Recurring monthly gifts help us to rely on a secure monthly income - so that we KNOW that we can cover our expenses, before we move on to more projects.

CAN YOU HELP US?

We need MORE monthly givers!

Through the end of the year, we will be tracking NEW monthly givers, and celebrating EACH and EVERY one!

THANK YOU ROSALIE G. for your monthly commitment!

It's a BIG goal, we know.

BUT we serve a BIGGER God.

How can we set a small goal when we serve a BIG God?

LET PRAISE AND WORSHIP TO OUR MIGHTY GOD POUR OUT OF THESE BUILDINGS AND PEOPLE!

Two churches in Akwa Ibom State are repaired and now open for worship, AND one brand new church was built there, too!

A big thanks to our generous donor for this renovation/building project, and to SFA Manager Lawal and Officer Saidu for getting the work done!

John 4:24 God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

SFA Board member Reverend Nelson Reed is visiting Phyllis in Nigeria for two weeks. Phyllis took him to Apiawe Primary at the City of Refuge.

Pictured are FM pastors, teachers and a missionary to the Fulani.

Gotta love these beautiful kids!

Prayer Requests:

  • Pray for our monthly giving to increase MIGHTILY!

  • Pray for SFA board members Jon Banke and Nelson Reed, both in Nigeria with Phyllis this month.

  • Pray for the developing Imala project - for wisdom, special grant funding, and peace with surrounding tribes.
