A Special Need; a Special Offering

Many of you know and love Tarcisio Magurupira, a brother in Christ, member of our church, and our supported missionary in Zimbabwe.  We have so often rejoiced in the work God has done at the Theological College in Zimbabwe and through the children’s camps.  Pastors are being equipped, children are hearing of Jesus for the first time, and hearts are being changed. 

Tarcisio has been battling a health challenge in recent months, including a serious infection, and now surgery is unavoidable.  Unfortunately the surgery he needs is not available in Zimbabwe; Tarcisio must travel to South Africa for the surgery.  His medical insurance is sorely lacking.  Tarcisio does not have sufficient financial resources. 

The need is $10,000.  Will you please come along side Tarcisio and consider a donation to help offset medical expenses?  If you are so led, simply make your check out to Glen Ellyn Evangelical Covenant Church as you usually do, but also note “Emergency Medical Fund” in the memo line (and on the envelope if you use one).  If your give online, the dropdown menu now includes “Emergency Medical Fund for Tarcisio”. 

Here is a link to the giving page  Give to Glen Ellyn Evangelical Covenant Church (breezechms.com)   And whether you are led to donate or not, please PRAY.  Our God is the Great Physician.  He holds Tarcisio and each of us in the palm of his hand.  Thank you for your consideration.
