AREWA AID’S SECOND ANNUAL BENEFIT DINNER AND AUCTION ANOTHER SUCESS

Our Second Annual Benefit Dinner and Auction for Arewa Aid was another success. Dave Goolsby of Healing Hands International was the keynote speaker. Dave gave his assurance to the stability and progress of the work in Maiduguri that he along with Randall Mc Cadams saw during their visit in August of this year. He commended all present for their standing with Arewa Aid during the challenges of the past few months, and commended them as well for their vision for the future.

 

Lee Hodges gave an over view of the work of Arewa Aid during the last year and shared the new vision for 2009 of bringing Pompomari Training Farm to self sustaining status by the end of next year. He also shared a pressing need to work with a group of 16 churches that have banded together to build buildings to house a Preachers Training School. They are making the brick by hand. This group wants agricultural to be apart of the training to enable graduates to be self supporting when they leave school without the need for dollars from the US.

 

Another call was shared that has come from the nation of Chad. Brethren in this French speaking nation tell of a critical need for water to sustain life.  They too would like Drip Irrigation and Food Preservation Workshops to be held after water is made available.

 

Arewa Aid while dealing with tremendous challenges has by the grace of God not only been able to survive, but to launch out into the deep to fulfill commitments made and to trust God to make the means available to answer all of these needs of faith brothers and sisters in Christ.
