Gifts through PayPal

Dearest Friends,

I'm so pleased to know you've found your way to our new family blog, which will hopefully chronicle years of trips in which we pursue a stronger relationship with God through a greater understanding of His earth and His people. 

In sharing the news of my upcoming trip to Uganda, I learned that several members of our family and friends would like to contribute to the fundraising efforts for the associated travel expenses.  While purposeful and meaningful communication and fellowship are always my preference, I do know that sometimes we find ourselves fighting for extra moments in the day and occasionally wishing that the things we want to do were easier.  If you feel led to contribute financially and would like to do so without writing and dropping a check in the mail, PayPal offers several secure options for online donations.

If you have a PayPal account, you can simply send a no-fee donation (please choose "gift" in the options) to our family email address, which is linked to the Uganda travel account. (If you need this email address, leave a comment on the blog and I'll send it to you ASAP! =) )  If you use the PayPal link to make a debit/credit donation, there is a small transaction fee associated with it.  For example, a $50 donation via VisaDebit would result in $48.25 toward the trip.

Unfortunately, donations through PayPal won’t be tax deductible.  I hope this does not deter you from giving if you feel led. Tax deductible donations can be made via check (memo line: Uganda/MMC) directly to the team hub in Texas:

Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. 

With a grateful heart,

  1. Hi MA,
    I hope my donation can go towards meeting the most urgent needs of those little babies. It's such a joy to help.

  2. Sweetie,

    Since I am a nerd.. I would say my donation can go for anything related to the school supplies - pens, pencils, notebooks, watches. Anyway, you get what is needed most and what you have least of.

    You are so amazing for doing this! I will be waiting to hear from you when you come back!

    Love you!
