The Only Shares That Are Going UP!

As friends of the Mexico Mission District which includes Mexico City, you have an awesome opportunity to invest right now in some shares that are guaranteed to bring longterm gains. How is this possible you might ask with all of the economic fears in today's down-turning market? Is this another scam out of Nigeria or China? No!

Today is the day you can invest in Mexico Country Shares! These are hot commodities and likely won't last long. The Mexico Country Shares are used to support a variety of Mexican-led ministries that go hand-in-hand with the other mission activities taking place in Mexico.

For example, the Mission District Director (Jorge Guarello) is responsible for overseeing 10 different churches throughout Central and Southern Mexico. Most of these churches are led by pastors who don't have a lot of experience. Many of the churches including the one of which the Director is the pastor do not have enough resources to pay a living wage to their pastors. Country Shares are used to pay for the Director's travel as well as his family's grocery money. He is known to share these funds with other pastors who don't have enough to meet their monthly needs.

The Mexico Country Share Budget for 2008 is a little over $31,000. Churches in the Great Plains Conference have committed $7500 this year and South Canaan FMC has committed $500. That leaves $23000 available for your church or Sunday School class or family! Would you prayerfully consider how you might partner with us in seeing these vital Mexican ministries not just survive but thrive? Feel free to email your questions or comments to any of the missionaries you see linked in the right hand column of this blog.
