MISSIONARY FAMILY FROM CEDAR HILLS –  “Thank you so much for supporting us the past two years. Your prayers and financial gifts have been such an encouragement to us! On March 31, we were told there was not enough in our fund to cover our April expenses. Finding out on such short notice definitely took us by surprise!  Praise God, we have received several gifts to help cover our April/May expenses. However, we are in need of increased monthly support! Would you consider giving either a one-time gift or partnering with us monthly? Thank you so much!” Click here to support.
