Bethel’s “Gift of Christmas” raises $29,102 towards completing
“A Home for Agnes”
God has richly blessed us in our efforts to raise the necessary funds to finish Agnes’ home.  With the money raised from the Singing Christmas Tree presentations, our total is now $75,387.  This surpasses our targeted goal of $72,000.  We now have the required funds to complete the home.  All extra funds remaining will be used for the next project for Agnes. A big thank you to Kathy Blakely, Wayne Mosley and all the cast and crew who volunteered countless hours of their time to put on nine excellent productions of Bethel’s “Gift of Christmas”.
Our scheduled time for completion is still early March.  All phases of the construction are on budget and meeting all timelines established with our builder, Emile.  Currently, they are adding the roof to the building with all exterior and interior walls up.  The next phase after this work is finished will be to complete all the electrical and plumbing work.
Bob Graham and Bob Carson each visited Ghana in early December.  They’ve brought back pictures and very favorable reports on the work being done and on the great effort, Emile and Lucky and all the laborers are doing.  Bob Carson spent valuable time there training the teachers at Agnes’ school.
2009 has been a very interesting year.  We’ve seen a dream become a reality as God enabled a group of men, women and children, thousands of mile apart to come together to help a family, a community and many children, in need , see God’s hand move and realize the hope that comes with obedience to living our lives in accordance with His will.
I hope that you each have a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.
Thank you, Gary
