Our Christmas Giving for 2011

We want to introduce you to Narges K. Ashtari, The Prishan Foundation, and the

Assist Orphanage for Girls

Each year we at Ekklesia adopt a special project overseas that we ask for

everyone to donate towards. This Christmas season we want to take the time

to think about how we might be able to most closely represent who and what

this Christmas season is really all about. We attempt as a community to

give sacrifically so that others might know the love of a God that would

come to earth for us. This year we have chosen to give toward building the

Assist Orphanage for Girls in Rayagada, India. Currentlly Narges K. Ashtari

(pictured above) and The Prishan Foundation are about halfway to their

$41,000 goal to build a home for 40 beautiful little girls who would not

otherwise have a place to live. You can read more about the project in an

interview done by Mark Langham and Conspiracy of Hope -Here.

We are asking you to consider giving sacrificially above and beyond your

typical gifts to this building project for Christmas. We have a chance to

make a huge difference in the lives of these girls. If you would like to

give you can bring a donation to our Sunday Night meeting or you can mail a

check to:

PO BOX 641

Hattiesburg, MS 39403

Make out checks to Ekklesia Hattiesburg and be sure to indicate in the memo

line what the gift is for.

Thanks for being a part of making this dream a reality -

The girls from The Assist Orphanage thank you as well!
