"The Word at Work is a ministry that mobilizes churches and individuals to answer God's call to minister to those in need," writes Rev. Tim Tam, Director of the Amarillo, Texas-based ministry. "Through our relationships, God reveals needs and opportunities for service. As we come along side the poor, new friendships develop and doors for ministry open. As we serve, God provides the resources to supply for the needs he reveals."
Raising awareness, funds, prayers
Dear Friends,
Thanks for taking a minute to read our weekly update.
This
past Sunday we were privileged to work with Michael Martin Murphey and
the Western Heritage Museum located in Hobbs, NM on a fundraising event
for TWAW. Close to 100 guests enjoyed a meet and greet time with Mr.
Murphey and an intimate concert in the Museum Auditorium, where they
heard more about our ministry. We're grateful to everyone who
participated!
Here's a photo of Mr. Murphey with one of the high bidders on an autographed guitar featuring the lyrics of Wildfire.
We had a special guest auctioneer at the event; Bob Herndon and his
wife, Sharon, joined us all the way from Jackson, TN; they brought 100's
of Christmas toys for our Christmas Project in Belize, December 13-22!
Would you like to join us on this trip? If so, let Mollie know by November 1! If you've been gathering items for the Christmas container, let
Tim Hagen know so he can share our shipping schedule.
This year our TWAW donors have provided scholarships for close to 150
students in Belize! Thank you so much!! We have just one student left
on our list - a 12-year-old young lady, one of 9 children, is hoping to
get her education in the Valley of Peace. Sponsorship is $150USD - once
we have this student covered, we'll begin building our scholarship fund
for 2015.
Finally,
it's been a bittersweet week for our friend Ladeni and all those who
have come to love her and her family ... the tumor in Ladeni's leg was too
advanced to allow for reconstruction, so surgeons were forced to
perform an amputation in order to save her life. The sweetness of
watching so many people come around this family with love and
encouragement is indescribable! Here's Ladeni, just this morning,
beginning the next part of her journey. She's been comforting others in
the midst of her own pain - what a hero in the faith this young woman
is! We've created a fund to assist with some of the family's expenses
while Ladeni recovers; let me know if you'd like to make a donation and
thank you for your continued prayers.
Gratefully,
tt (Tim Tam)
