Each year as our thoughts are on school being out for the summer, we begin collecting donations for our school supply mission effort to help children in Mexico go to school. This is our 15th year to join together as an association and we would love to see every church participate!
As you think about donating to the association to buy school supplies consider these things. Children by law must have the required basic supplies to attend school. Their reasoning is self-serving in keeping the children in the fields or doing other work. Pastors from the villages come across the border to Fabens, Texas to get the supplies needed for their children.
When the children receive their packet they are receiving hope and God’s love. With just this start of hope many children go on to finish school and positively influence their family and surroundings. We have been able to be a significant part of making a difference in many lives through this ministry.
Please promote and collect donations through your VBS, Sunday School Classes, and Church body throughout the month of June. Send your donations to Double Mountain Association, PO Box 1112, Stamford, TX 79553 and memo check “school supply mission”. We ask that donations be in by the first week in July, so that DMBA will be able order the all the supplies in bulk.
Now, on Sunday July 16, we will meet at FBC Stamford to assemble the packets of supplies. After the packets have been assembled, counted, boxed, and labeled they will be placed in a trailer ready for delivery to Crossing Borders in Fabens. Afterwards, we will all gather in fellowship hall for a meal. We also accept donations for the meal.
If you would like to help with the meal or volunteer to sort supplies or help deliver, please contact the DMBA Office.
