Global Ministry Opportunities
David's 50 Project
In honor of Immanuelite David Jackson, we have committed to raising $50,000 in 2009 for the building of Katombora Maternity Clinic. Zambia is among those sub-Saharan countries with the highest maternal death rates in the world due to the shortage of birthing clinics. The building of this clinic will provide the needed space, privacy and birthing attendants to mothers thus reducing the risk of death.
Through the year, the IBC Missions Team will be monitoring and directing this project, helping groups organize to raise blocks of $1,000.00 in contributions. In addition, individuals and families are invited to make donations in any amount; please designate "David's 50" on your contribution envelope.
UPDATE: As of May 3rd, $34,402.00 has been raised. The response thus far has been very generous!
Many Immanuelites have committed within your various groups to raise funds in blocks of $1,000. Please keep the Evangelism and Missions Ministry Team advised of your plans. We stand ready to help in any way possible so feel free to call on us for support and assistance.
