IMPORTANT MINISTRY UPDATE!!!!!

As part of our ministry in Arad Romania we will be going into the villages door to door to pass out "Happy Boxes", love on the people, and share our faith and the Gospel message. I can't even begin to express how excited I am about this part of the ministry.  

Donations above my fundraising target of $1950 will go towards Happy Boxes.

The cost per Happy Box is $25. It will include things like flour, oil, canned meat, tooth brush, tooth paste, and aspirin. That might not seem like much to us, but for the people we will be visiting it is huge. It will help to take care of some basic needs, and open the door of opportunity for us to be able to share the most important message they will ever hear, and I pray that for many it will open the door to an eternity with Jesus Christ.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I really need your help! The Lord has called me to join a group of people for a short-term mission trip to Arad Romania. Our mission is to share the love of Jesus and the Gospel message.

I will be leaving for Arad on October 31st and returning on November 9th. Time is short, and I need to raise funds quickly. The Lord has called me to do this, and I know that He will be faithful in helping me to get there. The trip is being organized by Eternity Minded Ministries (EMM). The leadership team is in Arad right now finalizing the details of the trip. When they return I will be able to share specific details of our ministry, but I really need to begin my fundraising now. 

Will you partner with me and the Lord to bring help, love and the message of salvation to the people of Arad Romania? I know times are tough right now for everybody. Even if you only have a small amount to give it all adds up and will make a difference. However, for those that can, I encourage you to give generously. Either way, your gift will be a blessing to me, the people of Arad Romania, and it will bring joy to your heart knowing that you are helping to make a difference and touching lives for eternity.

I will update this page as soon as I have more details on our ministry in Arad. Until then, please feel free to visit Eternity Minded Ministries website (www.eternityminded.org) to find out more about the organization and how they have helped people around the world through humanitarian aid, sharing the Gospel message, teaching, and planting churches. I recently read in a letter from EMM that a pastor from Bucharest, Romania where EMM held evangelistic festivals in 2002 wrote to say that many Christians had come to his church as a result of EMM's ministry there and now, 5 years later, 90% of those new Christians are still attending. Praise God! 

You can donate directly from this website. It is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. But if you would rather send a check you can send it directly to Eternity Minded Ministries, P O Box 2460, Paso Robles, California 93447. It is important that you write "Jill Griffin, Mission Arad" on the memo section of your check or in a note, and that you send it quickly -- time is short. If you mail your donation please let me know so that I can thank you and update my progress. I only have a short time to raise my support and I really appreciate your quick response.

Many thanks for your support -- and please forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! It's a great cause and you will be helping to touch lives for eternity. Please pray for my fundraising efforts, and for Mission Arad.

Peace be with you,

Jill Griffin
