Ladies it is my great delight to serve you.  We have a lot to 
look forward too in the coming year.  Because this is my first 
communication to you, I'm going to dedicate it to our 08' 
Regional Project.  We are going to help Tammy Swailes to make 
more disciples through INSTE. The work that she and her staff 
are doing in Eastern Europe is very exciting.  We are shooting 
for 100% participation in our region.  If each church gives only 
$200, the $6000 needed for the Xerox and laptop will be raised. 
I invite you share any ideas you are using in your church to 
keep Tammy and this project before your people.
 
Here is what Prairie Family Church is doing:
• We take a weekly "Change the World" offering. We have 
asked the parents and children to save their spare change 
each week to give in this special offering. 
 
• During this offering, we have a short powerpoint presentation 
with Tammy's picture along with a brief description of what the 
offering is going towards. For the next few months it will be 
dedicated to Tammy Swailes. This is Extra Credit: After the 
money has been raised for Tammy, we will continue to take 
this offering and donate the money to other Open Bible 
Missionary projects such as the ABCD Fund, Elida Children's 
Orphanage, Puente De Amistad, etc. 
 
• Tammy is wonderful to keep us updated with what is 
happening through her blogspot as well as prayer requests.  
In order to keep Tammy 'top of the mind' we electronically 
send her prayer requests to the people in our body so they are 
helping her financially and prayerfully. Additionally we share the 
many exciting praise reports she passes along. INSTE is growing 
at a remarkable rate and this will literally translate into more 
disciples being made. People follow vision and they are able 
to see it come to pass right before their eyes. It is a way for 
them to help "Change the World."

This is what our church is doing.  Now, won't you please share
