Hey guys,

As many of you already know, my wife Ashley and I have recently started an orphan care ministry called Mayatima International Ministries. We are a non-profit organization, registered in Mississippi. We are currently in the planning process for building an orphanage in Kenya, Africa. As you might imagine, it is very difficult to accomplish something of this scale in another country without being there. Because of this I will be taking several trips to Africa over the next couple of years. I am planning a “vision trip” in a couple of weeks to meet with real estate agents and look at possible sites for the orphanage, I will also meet with a builder to get an idea of what it will cost to build the orphanage. In addition to meeting with the real estate agents and the builder, I will be touring existing orphanages in Kenya and meeting with their directors. This is a very important trip for the organization and is vital for getting this ministry going in the right direction.

This trip will cost about $1700 and I am looking to friends and family that believe in this ministry to help in funding this trip. Because this trip is so close, I am sending this message on facebook as a challenge to give in the next 24 hours. I am sending this message to 200 people. If everyone gives $5 each, that will be $1000 in 24 hours. If everyone gave an average of $10 each, that would pay for the trip and allow extra money to provide food and assistance to the orphanages I will be visiting while I am there. As you can see, if we all come together for this, it can be done quickly and easily. I understand not everyone can give $5 or $10 dollars but if you can give $1 or $2 or any amount that you feel comfortable with, it will be greatly appreciated.

There are two ways that you can give. The easiest way is by visiting our website at http://www.facebook.com/l/c2787;www.mayatimainternational.com There you will find a link to donate through paypal. Paypal is secure and easy to use. All you have to do is set up a free paypal account and in about 3 minutes from start to finish, we will receive your donation. Since this is a 24 hour challenge, this would be the preferred method. The second way that you can give, is by mail. If you do not have a debit card or credit card, you can send a check to Mayatima International Ministries at: PO Box 720958, Byram, MS 39272.

We thank you so much for your prayers and monetary gifts and ask that you would continue to pray for us as we follow the Lord in this important and exciting ministry.
