Fundraising for Zambia

In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’

Acts 20:35 

From pancake breakfasts to craft sales, the Team has been hard at work raising money for our trip to Zambia.  The money raised from these events will be used in Zambia to purchase much needed larger items, such as rugs and fans for the homes and shoes for the 2-6 year old children, while in Africa.

The First Presbyterian Church of Branchville Mission Committee held four pancake breakfasts at the church to raise money for Zambia. 

Ron, Sarah, Carol, Connor, Beverly, Linda & Suzanne cook up pancakes, eggs & sausage for the multitudes!

The Zambia Team, the Mission Committee, and a couple of young volunteers served up stacks of pancakes, rows of sausage links, mounds of scrambled eggs, and bowl after bowl of fresh fruit salad, along with orange juice, apple juice, coffee and tea.  

The pancake breakfasts raised over $1500 for Zambia, and were such a hit that the Mission Committee will continue to serve up pancakes to raise funds for local and international mission projects in the future.
