Prayer Letter/Ministry Update

A billboard in town challenges us to touch the lives of all the unreached of Mali. It reminded us why we are here and why Hope Center is urgently needed.
It tells us that more than 3 million people in Mali use this one cell phone service. That’s about 25% of the population.
Believers in Christ are less than one percent - around 96,000. 60% of the people groups of Mali are unreached.
We believe that Hope Center can touch at least 1,000 lives in its first year. Will you be a part of it?

We thank you for your support of our ministry as you pray and as you give. If you would like to partner with us financially, here are some ways in which you can do so.

You may give online by going to www.cmalliance.org/give/ or click on of the following links: Roedding Support, Roedding Work, Bamako Ministry Center.

Be sure to also check out our blog site http://maliroedpages.blogspot.com/ if you want more detailed information about HOPE CENTER and its activities. If you would like to see the professionally done proposal for the center contact us and we can e-mail you a printable version. Our blog also has interesting stories about Mali and pictures about our life and work.

Contact us to receive the complete update via e-mail.

Thanks for living the call with us by praying and giving to reach the Professionals of Bamako.

Pray.

The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—as a denomination, as churches, and as individuals.

Give.

You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This fund finances our missionaries, allowing them to focus on ministry rather than raising their own support.

Serve.

Is God calling you to full-time service? Do you want to experience missions firsthand by participating in a short-term missions trip? We want to help you connect your passion with God’s purpose.
