NEED OF THE MONTH
Each month Gethsemane's Social Ministry team raises funds and collects much-needed goods for various partner organizations from Hopkins and around the world.
MAY: OUR PARTNER CONGREGATION in EL SALVADOR
We are excited to travel with a team of 13 people to spend time with our siblings in El Salvador July 22-28. We will continue to deepen our relationships with members from Iglesia Concordia and once again spend time with the young congregation in Guymango.
These communities continue to face many challenges and often lack basic medications and first aid supplies for their families. One again our partners at Iglesia Concordia ahve requested that we bring:
New, unopened packages of pain relievers (acetaminophen or ibuprofen) for children or adults
Over-the-counter cold medicine and supplements
Financial donations to purchase other supplies while we are in El Salvador, as there is a great benefit to supporting the local economy.
The Need of the Month is one way to support our partners in El Salvador. At any time you can make a donation here or with your Sunday offering by marking "El Salvador" on your check. All donations are tax-deductible and recorded in your giving record. Whatever you are able to share will make a huge impact on their community. Here are just a few examples:
$2/day to take public transportation to school
$10/month for blood pressure medication for three women
$15/month for regular lifesaving medication and lab tests
$50 for an eye exam and eye glasses
