Clifftop donation follow-up

Wednesday, September 19, 2012 @3:51:14 AM


At Clifftop this year I did some favors at my booth...... fixed some instruments, did some setups, put on some heads, sold some instruments, etc. Instead of asking for payment I asked people to contribute to the Covenant Church & School in Sierra Leone. This is a friendly reminder to those of you who may not have followed through yet on donations. The school opened on Monday, Sept 10th.

Please send a donation via the US church that is supporting the mission in Africa:

Jubilee Fellowship Church

Lone Tree Campus
9830 Lone Tree Parkway
Lone Tree, CO 80124

Please be sure to indicate that the donation is for the mission work in Sierra Leone

Here are some (poor-quality cell-phone) pictures of construction & a service:

thanks,

Mark Ralston
