Yes, it’s hard to believe that I will turn 75 on June 13th. Would you join me in celebrating by helping me raise funds for a ministry? My goal is to raise at least $500 for each ministry described below.
The project in Haiti is Auberge De Vieillards, a home for Seniors and Disabled Adults located in Pignon, Haiti. Its residents receive food and lodging, spiritual and emotional support, health care, and end-of-life care. Monies received for this project will purchase food and fund staff, nursing and medical care. The Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada will handle donations for this fundraising initiative. I was part of six short-term mission teams in Haiti. The people of Haiti are still dear to my heart.
Refreshing Mercies Ministry is located near Peoria, Illinois. It is the culmination of a vision Mark and Sheryl Douras had after the death of their young college-age son, Jonathan. They established the ministry in 2016. Refreshing Mercies Ministry is a retreat center that provides a place of healing in a comfortable and restful setting for hurting people journeying through loss, tragedy, or transition. They offer guided activities, resources, prayer and counsel for individuals, couples, families, groups, and those serving in ministry. All are designed to promote healing in a learning, creative, and spiritually renewing environment. Mark is my brother.
