HomeFive loaves of bread and two fishes - seemingly insufficient and insignificant, but when generously SHARED by a poor boy and blessed by God, they satisfied the hunger of several thousand people. (Mt 14, 15-21)
The blessings of God are like the multiplication of the loaves of bread and fishes.
Saint Paul tells us that God blesses a cheerful giver. If we HAVE and thus are able to SHARE, that in itself is proof of God’s blessings. For what we HAVE, we have received – God GIVES and we receive. And the best way to show our gratitude is to SHARE what we have received from God. Our GIVING or SHARING makes us more like God, for this giving becomes a blessing for others. The GIVING of our prayer is also very valuable, and they are greatly appreciated. We too are committed to praying for you, your intentions, and blessings from God.
Our gifts to others reflect our evangelistic sharing and living of the Gospel. Stewardship as a member of the family of God lets us live as Jesus asked us to live our lives. We are not asked to give everything we have. Just to share a little of the blessings and gifts we receive. Your blessings can be shared by giving in many different ways. Time, prayer and of course, not excluding money, can be shared with the community of God. Please give to help others who are equal in God’s eyes, but unfortunately not equal in the receipt of opportunities and the necessities for a better life.
Any donations, large or small, are appreciated. Small donations, like the multiplication of the loaves and fishes add up. The needs of the Cristalandia Mission are great, but the immediate financial resources necessary for sustained operations and ongoing projects can be met with the multitude of people giving small amounts.
A tax reciept can be mailed to you by request. Your check copy or bank statements may also serve as your tax-deductible receipt.
