Christmas Party Outreach in Antipolo - Would You Help Us?

The Church which I pastor in Metro Manila, Philippines, Gateway Mission Assembly www.gatewaymissionassembly.org , has been reaching out to one specific community, a few miles away in Antipolo for a few years now.  This December 2, 2017, we will hold our second Christmas Party Outreach.  It is primarily our Youth who are leading this effort.  They go to this community regularly and we even provide transportation every week to our main Sunday Church service by renting a vehicle called a Jeepney.  Here is a picture of a typical Jeepney:


Every Sunday, around 25 precious people from this community attend Gateway Mission Assembly.  This is the result of continued interaction, but by far, the most impactful thing we did was last years Christmas Outreach Party.  We believe that this years Outreach Party will be another big success!

It is my dream and goal that what we are doing will become a Church.  Our first Church Plant!

Our Church is running at a less than break even level.  Every week, we receive miracles from God in order to continue operating and so we do not have funds from our general account for this outreach.  Even the weekly transportation is covered by private donation.  What we are doing is collecting coins all year long after every Sunday service in order to get the money together to conduct this Party.  In addition to that, our Youth do other fund raising activities such as selling baked goods, t-shirts and contacting anyone that they know who might help.

It's going to be great!  There will be singing, performances, food, gifts and most importantly, the presentation of the gospel!

As of right now, we are in need of about $1,200 more in order to do it the way we really want to.

Would you be willing to help us out?  If so, please contact me at pastorstevemckinney@gmail.com and I'll let you know the best way to get funds to us depending on your location.

Thanks so much for your kind consideration!  God bless you!
