Thank You Ladies

Ron Moore, organizer of IMpact Project 2:2 -- Evangelistic Narrations, sends a special thanks to the South Carolina Women Nationally Active for Christ who voted in their state meeting to support the project with a $5,000 gift. “Wow, I wasn’t expecting that,” Ron said, “but I should have known better because these ladies have always had a heart for missions and faithfully supported Linda and me when we served in Ivory Coast over 30 years ago. Their gift,” he continued, “put us over the top in our budget for Phase One and has enabled us to begin planning for Phase Two in Spanish speaking countries. Somehow, 'thank you' just doesn’t seem adequate.”

Thank You MIT

It is amazing what a small group of men can do when the Lord places in their hearts a burden for a ministry. These men, and a few who are not in this picture, are members of a Tuesday morning MIT Prayer and Bible Study Fellowship that has proven time and time again their love for the Lord and His work. When they caught a vision for the potential impact of Project 2:2 -- Evangelistic Narrations in reaching the lost with the Gospel, their gifts underwrote the entire budget for Phase One of the project -- that's over $20,000! The Church at West Franklin is where Steve attends. Both Ron and Steve meet with these men on Tuesday mornings and have come to love and appreciate them very much.

Cofer's Chapel Adopts Project 2:2

When Linda and I first visited Cofer's Chapel, we had no idea what the Lord had in store for us, but we knew we had found a great church to become our new place of worship. The most amazing thing is not only how they have accepted us but the new open door of ministry the Lord has given Ron as well: Project 2:2 -Evangelistic Narrations. When given the opportunity to present the ministry to the congregation by Pastor Allen Pointer, Ron was overwhelmed by the response. In as many churches as he has been in through the years, he had never experienced what he heard Pastor Allen say. He took about five minutes and spoke to the congregation, saying that they needed to get behind "one of our own" and support a project that could have a transformative impact in reaching so many with the gospel. Of course, Cofer's has always been a mission minded church; so, what seemed unusual to Ron, was pretty normal for them!

Former Missionary Primes the Pump

One of the very first gifts to Project 2:2 came from a dear friend and former colleague of Ron and Linda. She is a retired widow living with family in a western State. We do not mention her by name because she would not like the publicity. Those of you who served as IM missionaries in Ivory Coast will knowt who it is, but we ask that you, too, protect her privacy.

Now, why do we mention this gift when so many others have given? First, because of who gave it! A friend and former colleague, yes, but also a widow living on a fixed income with growing health concerns and expenses. Second, the gift itself: $1,000! She had set aside these funds and was praying about where they would make the greatest impact for the Lord. She choose Project 2:2! Third, the timing of the gift; almost as soon as the project was adopted by IM! Thank you, dear friend, for priming the pump for our fund raising! God has blessed it!
