First off, this was too exciting to wait until the next CII blast and I know we just sent out an email on the 5K, but you are going to be just as excited to hear about this amazing opportunity that has come up. And the donations that come in for the 5K are specific to local area kids. Just a little background, last year during the mission trip CII purchased 11 acres of fertile farm land that will help not only provide food for the children but also a source of income as they have 2 harvest seasons. The next move was to purchase a tractor. Initially, the quote that CII was given was for $40,000. That was a tractor and plow included. This year when CII went on the 2013 mission trip, the team visited a Massey-Ferguson dealer and would you believe, but the price came down to $17,000. Is that crazy or what? This $17K includes the tractor, plow, on the land training and a full warranty. We have $4,500 put away for this already. As this was included in the after action report, one of our readers became excited about this and has offered an opportunity we have to try and make!!! Completely of the Holy Spirit. Are you ready? This supporter has offered to match dollar for dollar up to $6000! The catch is we have to raise this by December 31, 2013. Can we do this? With God all things are possible!!! And you are part of this plan. We can only reach this $6000 with your help. Your donations and getting this word out is the only way we can make this happen. This is not a guilt statement. Quite honestly, CII tries very hard to not tug at heart strings or make anyone feel guilty about giving. But this is about helping CII do what our mission is and that is to make locations/villages self-sufficient. This will give those in Uganda the opportunity to grow their own food and harvest it properly. Feeding the children and selling to afford other necessities. This is a GREAT opportunity. Please join us! You can send checks to CII, P.O. Box 1146 Belvidere, IL 61008 or go to the PayPal widget provided on this website.
Please specify that this donation is for “tractor fund”.
So, pass the word on. Point people to the website. Have them contact us directly. Forward this email to your friends! But we know WE can do this!
