Sending Jimmy Ntambwe Home

  Jimmy Bin Ntambwe

                                                                   2-26-1995 to 3-4-2021

I am Daniel Senga the pastor of Jimmy Bin Ntambwe and I am raising money to send Jimmy's body back to his home country so that the family can have a proper goodbye and burial. All arrangements for his funeral here in the US and for sending the body back home amount to $15,928. My team and I are hoping to raise up to $20,000 so the extra money can go to assisting his family. To send your donations PLEASE CLICK THE LINK BELOW

We celebrate the life of a young man who has touched the lives of everyone he came in contact with. Jimmy Bin Ntambwe, a son, a brother, a friend, and a servant of Jesus Christ was found the morning Thursday the 4th next to his Bible. He lived an exuberant life. There were two things you could not miss about Jimmy: 

1. His heart for God, and his
2. His kindness 

Our hearts are in shock and broken. We cannot imagine what life would be like without him around, However, we celebrate Jimmy's life as someone among those who walked on this earth with God .

HOW THE FUNDS WILL BE USED:

The GoFundMe team requires my team and I to put the withdrawal plan here in the story in order for us to have access to the money. So here is how we intend to proceed unless GoFundMe clearly states what they require in order for us to have access to the funds:

1. We will provide GoFundMe with my (Daniel Senga) personal bank account. Why my personal bank account? Because we provided GoFundMe with the church bank account before and they could not validate our tax ID number and because both my team and Jimmy's family are running out of time. We thought since GoFundMe gives the option of using a personal bank account number, it would be easier to use one.  Why they couldn't validate the tax ID, I don't know. We couldn't find a GoFunMe number to call. All we know is the Church has a bank account and the bank was able to verify the EIN number just fine. Plus, we are willing the work with them to get any issue sorted out if they can tell us what's missing.

2. Once this money gets to my personal bank account, I will write a check out to "Jardin de Meditation" our church, also called "Meditation Garden (English)" or "JARME (Abbreviated)". Then at that point, all the payments will be made from the church bank account.  The church will handle paying the "A.T Hutchins Cremation and Funeral Services" both their own fees and fees of any third parties "A.T Hutchins Cremation and Funeral Services" will be dealing with such as Air line companies, Embassies, Flour Shops and any other services that needs to be paid.

Now should GoFundMe prefer the church account, then they will need to work with us. So far it's been impossible dealing with a computer and automated responses. Talking to a human being will make our lives so much easier. We are willing to comply with any of their requirements as long as those requirements are legal.

3. Once all the funeral expenses have been paid, the church "JARME", will use a money transfer service of its choosing such as  Western Union or Money Gramm to send any extra money to Jimmy's father who lives in Lubumbashi, in the D.R.Congo in the continent of Africa to assist the family with any local burial expenses. 

4. Then a public report with receits of how all the funds were used will be posted on the Facebook page "Celebrating the LIFE of Jimmy".
