WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE A PROJECT LIKE PROJECT NEW HOPE INTERNATIONAL WORK.


I was thinking about this again. It is pretty amazing when you think about it.
One can easily forget, or never even think about how many people it takes to launch a project like we have with PNHI.
First and foremost it is done for GOD. And without His help, guidance, encouragement, forgiveness and the power of His Holy Spirit, nothing would happen.

Then it takes our BOARD. They are committed to help carry out the mission and that means investing time, energy and funds. Our board meets every three months. They are people with other jobs, a family, a home church etc. but they make room to help represent all the supporters of the Project to help insure that we are doing things the best possible.

Then it takes the TEAM. That includes the Executive Director, to Mike and Danell on the field and the other workers on the field who are paid team members. That totals about 30 in all. They are working to carry out the task laid out before them and it isn't always easy. But they are committed to Christ and to the task.

Then there are the FAMILIES that help support Team Expansion and Team Expansion in turn directs that support to us three North American families, two on the field.

Then there are those who directly support PNHI and the work in Peru. There are 13 MAJOR CONGREGATIONS doing this. Beyond those congregations are mission teams, pastors, and then the thousands who faithfully give to insure that the work goes on.

Then there are VOLUNTEERS who give of their time to help in ongoing work related to the work here in the U.S.

And there are the HUNDREDS who have gone to Peru on short term trips to help with the work. They spend vacation or work time to go, energy, and money to do so.

THIS PROJECT IS A TEAM PROJECT. IT WOULD NOT AND CAN NOT FUNCTION WITHOUT THE THOUSANDS INVOLVED.

WE ARE GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE. GOD'S WORK IS ADVANCING. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.,
LOVE IN HIM,

JOHN AND CARLA
