Amazing Grace Blog

Our volunteer Jeff Angote has been doing some fantastic work over at the Amazing Grace blog. He's been training the home administrator Lupai Nelson on how to use the computer and post updates on Blogs and Facebook. The posts are really well written and have some unique pictures as well.

Change in Prayer Meeting

The prayer meeting will be held from 12;30-1:30 at the Lahash office 11/7, not at 12:00 as previously reported!

Hope you're able to make it!

Less than two weeks!

Greetings!

With eager anticipation, we’re excited to announce that the banquet is less than two weeks away! As November 14 has been quickly approaching, the banquet team’s been busy making final arrangements, preparing materials, and reflecting on the theme of the event, “your light will rise.” There have been a few changes in the banquet. Sadly, Susan Tabia will not be able to join us for the evening due to complications in both her visa and in her health. Please continue praying for Susan and for the incarnational ministry she continues to participate in on a daily basis. Through the media that Dan and Casey were able to collect on their recent trip, we look forward to still being able to hear from her briefly during the evening.

There have also been a few changes in the direction of the fundraising effort. Everything raised through the banquet will now be going toward renovations at Amazing Grace in Adjumani, Uganda. Many of the buildings are in a state of disrepair, including leaking roofs, cracking cement, and overflowing latrines. We look forward to helping to transform many of the structures at Amazing Grace in order to provide a healthier and more stable living situation for the children Lahash sponsors.

Thank you so much for supporting the vulnerable and broken of this world. For those of you who have faithfully been praying for both the evening and the process, thank you! We will be having a time of prayer lifting up the banquet next Saturday (Nov. 7) from 12:30-1:30 at the office in N Portland. We’d love it if you all could join us!

2009 Christmas Giving Guides

The weather is getting colder here in Portland and we are beginning to see our breath in the mornings. This means that in a couple of months Christmas will be upon us. Our East African partners continue their struggle to care for and love the people in their communities affected by war, disease, and corruption. We've created a great little Giving Guide this year with 8 options of ways to share with our global family in need. You can check out these options online or you can also email info@lahash.net to get 1 or more copies mailed to you.

Two blogs to mention
