What Can I Do To Help??

I have had many people ask me what they can do to help. The most important thing you can do is to pray! Pray for our safety - Tanzania is a relatively stable country but there is a lot of poverty and we don't look like locals. Pray for our health - there are many little bugs and parasites that our bodies are not used to. Pray for our guidance - please ask that God guide the work we do so that it will be beneficial to his kingdom.

The other thing you can do is to make a donation to one of our projects. Anything you donate will go directly to the project you choose; church building, school, or the orphanage. Nothing will go to our living or travel expenses. If you would like to make a tax deductible donation you may send your check to Africa Now Ministries, c/o Karen Cox, 1000 NE Koetje Street, Oak Harbor, WA, 98277. Please make your check to Africa Now Ministries and note in the memo line where you would like your money to go - church building, school, or the orphanage. Any amount will be greatly appreciated and will go a long way toward making life just a bit better in East Africa.

The projects we have going are simply a stepping stool to help the local people create a better life for themselves. There are many Moshi citizens involved in each project because if the local people do not take ownership of each project there is no hope for a sustainable long term project.

This looks so awesome Karen :-) I am so excited that you will have the opportunity to do this! I know you will feel so blessed that you have been guided to do this act of faith and kindness. To give of oneself so totally is a gift that knows no price tag nor boundaries. I know our heavenly Father will have his hand upon you and your entire group. I hope you will be able to keep posting to this blog while your there and be able to share pictures! I know how hard it is to get service though in certain areas. Ed and I will be praying for you and will be watching this blog :-)
Hugs and Prayers
