Recently we had Josh Morrison from RISE Missions come and share with us all about the great work they are doing in the Dominican. I still am trying to wrap my head around the fact that they can treat and provide prescription medications to about 150 people per day for around $500 to $550 a day. That is just mind-boggling. The best part of this is that people are getting the Gospel Message during this time as well.

I know many of you have been impacted by the testimonies that Josh shared just as I am. One thing I have since learned that he did not have time to share while he was with us is that he now has two optometrists who will be giving eye tests and therefore will be needing reading glasses as well as prescription glasses. If you are like me, then you probably have some old glasses lying around in a drawer or on a shelf that you no longer use. Our own Judy Fosnaugh has volunteered to spearhead a collection at Wildermuth of these glasses! Thanks Judy. If you or someone you know has old reading or prescription glasses that you would like to get to Judy by November 15th, she will ensure that Josh has them before his return to the Dominican.

There are two other ways that Wildermuth strives to help RISE Missions. Did you know that the little tin cup next to our oƯering plate each month is a Missions Collections? All money donated in this cup is in turn distributed to Missions and RISE Missions is one of those recipients. I would like to challenge each of us to consider partnering with Josh and pledging (as well as carrying thru with) donating $5 each week to the missions cup. While I don’t drink Starbucks coƯee, it is hard to find coƯee anyplace for under $3 a cup. Just think how much Kingdom work can be done for less than the cost of two cups of coƯee a week!

Another easy way that we can ensure some funds to go to Missions is for anyone that shops at Kroger’s, please consider linking your rewards card to Wildermuth Memorial Church, ID # RJ186. This is a great way to have the local dollars you spend go to support our church through Community Rewards. All the money we receive through this program also goes to Missions.

I know I have been having a portion of this section of the Newsletter be about letting you know a little more about me and my family but I wanted to take time this week to highlight the work that Wildermuth Memorial Church is doing in Missions. Plus, you also have gotten to know a little more about me and my passion for outreach and Missions. Church is more than just what happens inside our four walls…It is all about building God’s Kingdom!
