Getting ready!

Victory Lutheran is sending twelve (12) participants to Africa for a mission trip through the organization of "Helping Hands in Africa" (they are changing their name soon to "Orchard: Africa" - more about that later).

Our group has been collecting school supplies and toiletries to give to the 200 students in the elementary school in Mafikeng. Our goal is to bring 500 pounds of supplies. We are at approximately 375 right now. Thank you all who have contributed!

We have offered a breakfast fundraiser where we raised almost $700.00! We will be offering another fundraising opportunity on Monday, September 19th. Participants will be serving a delicious dinner which will be catered by Carrabbas restaurant at the church (5946 E. University - Mesa) beginning at 5:00 PM. There is a sign-up sheet in the church narthex. You may also RSVP through this post if you will be attending.

Watch this post for further announcements from other partcipants!
