How you can help

   Posted by: Ben Schwenk

Are you interested in joining the effort to serve the people of Burkina Faso? There are three ways in which you can serve:

  1. Pray. Pray that God will continue to open doors of opportunity for the vision to be spread. Pray that God will impress upon people’s hearts to give abundantly to the “Raise the Roof” Campaign for the completion of 10 village chuches and to the relief, aid and development of the Sahel. Pray that God will provide the financial means for those who have answered the call to “Go” on the missions trip to Burkina Faso.
  2. Get involved. Participate in our fundraising efforts. Tell someone. Attend the meetings. Join us on the trip!
  3. Donate. The Assemblies of God has set up a special account for the project to expand Central Assembly in Djibo. Your contribution through PayPal is 100% tax-deductible, and your contribution will go in its entirety to this mission’s project in Burkina Faso.

    Or, if you choose to donate by snail mail, you can send contributions to:

    Assemblies of God World Missions
    1445 N. Boonville Ave
    Springfield, MO 65802.

    (Make checks payable to “Assembly of God World Missions.” Also, make sure to include the Burkina Faso Field Account #8910507 and the Project #4913).


More on donating: In addition to donating to the expansion of the church in Burkina, there are other areas where you can donate:

 

  1. Make a financial gift to someone taking the trip. Many of those who feel God is calling them to take this trip need financial assistance in order to pay for it. If you’d like to give towards helping someone meet this goal, please contact us and we will assist in making sure your donation reaches someone who really needs it.
  2. Donate physical goods/gifts to the people of Burkina. In addition to the funds for the construction, and warm bodies for labor, we want to bring gifts and relief supplies with us to the people of Burkina who desperately need them. These include the following supplies:
