Calendar 2011

First there was the question: What could we have as Christmas present for the ChapelKids team?! It all ended with a very special calendar for the Mendok Project. You can find the smaller version at the right border of the blog.
It is always cheaper to have a bigger amount printed, so we took advantage of this. Good news for everyone who lives around Siegen: you are more than welcomed to get one or some more of it. Or you can send a postpaid envelope (not a small one!) to
Calvary Chapel Siegen - Projekt Mendok - Alte Eisenstraße 6 - 57080 Siegen - Germany.

If you get some more we wouldn't mind a little donation for the project :-)

A Good Foundation

First of all a big "thank you" to all, who donated a cake or donated for a piece of it today! It was worth it in every sense. We got a good foundation with this fundraiser for the needed finances. We still can't numeralize them - we can't forsee if one surgery would be enough or Mendok will need a second one. Also we have to find out about the exact expenses for travelling, housing and aftertreatment and every other costs thereby incurred. But thanks to the missions bazaar we had today also we can cover at least one-fifth of the cost.
This not only encourages me, I also feel very blessed through all those people, who helped to this with smaller or bigger gifts. And I just love it to see, to experience and to feel how people get behind it, how they become part of the project through a little act of friendship, a little gift, a little step or a little act. Out of all those little things God then makes something big. So let's go on!

PS: the kids in children's ministry today came up with a lot of ideas to help to support Mendok. We will put some of those ideas online the next days.

First Post in English

Welcome to the new blog in English language! The next posts will be the same as the German ones. For so far, here's a summary of the so called November News:
We were able to set up a bank connection and can now start with fundraising for all the costs (surgery, travelling, lodging etc.)

Also we got in contact with a dentist in Nepal through the "Forum Wiedenest", a German mission association. This dentist went to Jomsom for medical camp beginning of November, but she wasn't able to meet Mendok. She only was there for four days and things had been really busy. But she has contact to the right places to have a cleft palate surgery done. So next step is the decision where to get the surgery, to schedule dates and to raise money.
This coming Sunday, 28th of November, there will be a missions sale at Calvary Chapel Siegen after the morning services in favor of the Mendok Project. So if you like crafts and cake, stop by...
