Thanks so much for your support in our
ministry. We could not do this without you! This last week on FB live we announced our partnership with Faith and Learning International. Please check it out on Youtube Big Announcement if you did not see it already. We have a new FB page East-Africa-Diaspora-Community Facebook --please check it out and like and share!
We have been thankful for Cornerstone
Christian Church who received our support these last 6 months but are excited
that we have found a more permanent solution with Faith and Learning
International who will be our Fiscal sponsorship which “ refers to the practice
of non-profit organizations offering their legal and tax-exempt status to
groups—typically projects—engaged in activities related to the sponsoring
organization's mission. It typically involves a fee-based contractual
arrangement between a project and an established non-profit.” They will also
handle all our back office of running our nonprofit and take a small percentage
of our giving to cover for this service.
Please take time to visit their website Faith and Learning International
.
We
really like Faith and Learning International’s story and purpose “ In 2004, the
founders of Faith and Learning International felt called to serve God and the
Church worldwide in an unique yet practical way. Our purpose is to serve those
who have received a calling to ministry. We understand that many missionaries and
ministries get bogged down with administration, accounting, policies and
operational procedures. We want our
projects to spend time serving, not with spreadsheets. It’s important to know
FLI is not a missionary sending agency.
We are ideal for the entrepreneurial person with a vision for mission outside
the parameters of the typical mission/sending agency. Our structure keeps our
overhead at a minimum, meaning more dollars are spent on ministry than on
paperwork.FLI is a full member in good standing with the Evangelical Council
for Financial Accountability(ECFA). We
are an IRS 501(c)3 organization authorized to issue tax deductible receipts for
charitable contributions. Annual audits
conducted by an independent firm are available upon request.” We really feel
that this is a great fit for East African Diaspora Community and are excited
about where God takes us.
Our project is found in the World Wide section
under East Africa Diaspora Community: Dave & Jana Jenkins. We have also
created our own website at East African Diaspora Community website You can either go to our online
giving page for EADC Giving Page, or donors can also mail
checks made out to East Africa Diaspora Community to PO Box 480, Wheaton,
IL 60187.
Currently, we are only about 19% funded so we
have some additional support to discover. We would
love for our current
supports to introduce us to like-minded individuals and/or Churches. But most importantly we would like for you to
continue joining us with your prayers. We believe this is God’s work that he
has called us too and believe that He will provide!
Blessings,
Dave and Jana Jenkins
