In early February, I am heading back overseas to Jordan on another medical mission trip. This will be the third year I have participated in this trip and many of you have played a large role in making this opportunity possible. Again this year, we will be providing free medical care for the many Syrian and Iraqi refugees that have fled into Jordan. The refugees that we treat are facing a very difficult situation and have survived atrocities that we cannot even imagine. Last year we treated 800 refugees. Each so thankful for the help we could provide. This year, because the needs are greater we anticipate that we will see more people.
The situation in Jordan pulls on the strings of my heart and I feel called to go and help. Each year the needs grow yet I am excited for the opportunity to use my skills and minister to this group of people.
Like in years past, we will purchase medications in Jordan to be able to serve in the capacity that we have been called. There is a significant expense involved with this purchase and I am asking for you to consider contributing financially to this cause.
As a team we are hoping to raise $15,000 to purchase the necessary medications and cover the costs of the trip. I'm asking if you will consider making a $25 donation towards this trip. Any funds that are raised above the expense of the medications and/or the trip will be donated to our host group for the intent purpose of being used towards addressing ongoing medical needs.
If you are able to make a tax-deductible donation, please go online to this link and scroll down to select my name. https://vcbc.ccbchurch.com/form_response.php?id=218
You may write a check, make it out to Valley Community Baptist Church and in the memo section write - Jordan trip /J. Martin and mail it to me.
All donations need to be received by Feb 1st.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. If you would like, message me with your address so I can mail you note after the trip is over.
