“Mission Possible” Campaign
Dear Friends:
August 28, 2011 kicks off the Mission Possible Campaign. I have chosen to take part in this campaign to help widows and orphans in Colombia.
Together, we can’t lose!
The “Asociación Confraternidad Carcelaria de Antioquia” (ACCA) located in Medellin, Colombia is a Christian organization that has as its mission to serve, train, orient, administer and improve the conditions in the community: both for those serving time in prison as well as for those who are victims of criminal activity within the Department of Antioquia (like a Province in Canada).
The ministries of ACCA are far-reaching. They minister to men and women who are living in Colombia’s grossly overcrowded prisons. They are bringing hope to the hopeless and helping transform lives. More than 40 ex-prisoners are now pastors on the outside. In addition, they work with the family members of those who are in prison and help their children with their studies, help them get health care and help them break the cycle of violence and crime. But perhaps their most amazing ministry is with the widows and orphans of pastors who have been assassinated by the drug cartels. They currently work with the families of more than 60 martyred pastors.
The campaign begins in Canada on August 28, 2011
Everyone can participate.
Bike, swim, run, lose weight…
The possibilities are limitless…
Make a resolution today with a purpose.
The total distance between Hamilton & Medellin is 4,000 kilometers. My goal is to help raise $100,000 at $25 per kilometer. Please join me in this goal by making a tax receiptable donation to OMS Canada. Please place project #70105 on the memo line of your cheques, or you can:
Thank you so much in advance and wish me luck!
