We are soliciting your sponsorship to help us participate in an exciting missionary opportunity. The West Houston Seventh-day Adventist Church is coordinating with the Maranatha organization to help build two school buildings in La Chorrera, Panama in March 2015.  The existing school is at capacity and turning students away who want a quality Christian education.  Our project will also involve medical/dental outreach and a Vacation Bible School outreach. This is an opportunity of a lifetime to share Christ’s love in a practical way. We will have over 40 people going to Panama with our group to help build the school buildings and to conduct a medical and dental mission to provide free care to the townpeople during our stay.  As you can imagine, all of this costs money.  The total cost (for the building materials, travel to Panama, food, lodging, medical supplies, etc.) will be well over $80,000.  Our combined cost for the trip is $3,200.  Your gift will help cover airfare, room and board, meals, as well as the needed building and ministry supplies for myself and our team

Your donation will be tax deductible and I will send an IRS receipt for all monies sent to us.  

We have also included information about the organization that coordinates these events (Maranatha Volunteers International) and you can get additional information from their website at www.maranatha.org.  You can also read about last year’s trip at http://whsdamaranatha.blogspot.com .

Thank you in advance for your help.  We have been tremendously blessed by being involved in this ministry.  It is very worthwhile and rewarding work.  If you would be interested in participating in a mission trip in the future, please contact us.

God Bless;

Al and Landi James
