My workgroup at FedEx gave us these outstanding insect repellant Tilley hats!
We leave for Tanzania on Monday, March 16.
Please come to our Farewell Dinner at 6 p.m., on Sunday evening, March 15! Some friends are hosting a farewell potluck dinner at the Church of Christ at White Station, in the Fireplace Room (see map). It’s a pot-luck, so bring some food and come hear about our plans.
Fundraising
We are far short of our goal for the rainwater capture system. We only have about 10% of the money we need. Even at this late date, we have a hope of raising the rest, which is why I am sending this message.
We have exceeded our goal for our personal needs, largely because we pledged $5000 of our own money (thanks to my portable pension plan from FedEx). We’re committed to this work; we hope you will donate to it as well.
There are two ways you can donate:
- You can make a donation to COCWS with “Williams Tanzania Mission” on the memo line. The address of the church is: Church of Christ at White Station, 1106 Colonial Road, Memphis, TN 38117.
- You can make a donation to Tanzania Christian Foundation (click the link to open their donation page). You can designate your gift for Tanzania Christian Academy online, or you can send them a check with “Rainwater Collection System” on the memo line.
If you have been following our posts on Facebook and this blog, you know that our life has been rather busy. We’re taking a breather on Sunday. I will be speaking at Peppers Lake Church of Christ on Sunday morning (just outside De Valls Bluff, AR). I was their preacher many years ago, when our daughter was a baby. If you would like to join us, send me an email, and I will give you directions. Then,on Sunday evening, we have the farewell dinner. Y’all come!
Please pray for us.
