God has been expanding our Ecclesia Network of Ministries to include ministries in Africa and Pakistan, which are hungry for the truth. Since being a part of our Network, they have already begun observing Shabbat, the Fall Feasts and are preparing for Hanukkah. However, they serve hundreds of people in impoverished regions, so they need to meet physical needs as well as spiritual needs. To assist them, we set a fundraising goal of $10,000 no later than today (December 7th).
Members, partners and supporters of TIS, I'd like to share with you all that as of right now, we have NOT meet our first fundraising goal of $10,000 for ministries in Africa and Pakistan. So, let us continue to raise these funds until we make our mark of $10,000. We have currently raised $2,000, which includes a promise of $1,000 that we will soon receive hopefully. That means we still need $8,000 from our partners and supporters this month. Meanwhile, the ministry leaders are contacting me daily about the needs of those they serve--the most pressing need being food for the children in the orphanages. A few of the orphanages are completely out of food at this time. As we prepare for the Feast of Dedication, let us dedicate ourselves to being God's hands on earth and give toward these pressing needs.
After we meet our goal of $10,000 for the ministries in Africa and Pakistan, we will begin to focus on raising funds for “Ecclesia 2025: Kingdom Alignment” on Saturday, March 29th, 2025, from 1pm to 8pm in Richmond, VA. Just before 8pm that day, the Biblical New Year begins on the East Coast of the USA. However, it will begin just before 1pm in Israel that day. The Lord wants His people to enter that moment in time united around His presence and in alignment with His timing and will, from all over the world! To bring us, who are coming out of Babylon, into a deeper place of worship, prayer and fasting, He requires that we bring in a worship leader from Africa. Africans are truly pressing into God there, and we must connect with this move of God here in the West, in preparation for what is to come our way. Our budget for this gathering is $30,000, which we must raise as soon as possible but definitely no later than March 15th, 2025, to ensure that all expenses for this gathering are paid.
