Me and others brothers would love to be at the conference to represent the ministry of Abidjan Campus. We are available for additional information on this campaign; leave us a comment or question below. One of the things we have learned, and are still moved by in the teachings of our Lord Jesus-Christ is that all we have can get stolen or snatched out of our hands, but if we what remains is our Faith, then we have actually lost nothing. Indeed, the terrible events which occurred in Ivory Coast have caused the Campus Ministry to become lukewarm. Due in large part of the closure of Public Universities, most of students in our Ministry were scattered across the country. In those days, the great generosity and solidarity you have showed to us still have an impression on us. God in his grace is blowing on us a wind of spiritual revival. Moreover, the Discipleship Summit from 05 to 08 July in San Antonio is proving to be the driving force that is likely to boost that revival and by God’s grace be of great benefits to the Revolution that is already at work. It’s due to all this that a delegation from the Campus Ministry would like to attend the said conference. The Campus Leader KOUASSI Konan Désiré at the head of the delegation is accompanied by students, namely two Interpreters-Translators on behalf of the Church, the Director of Publication of the Church Official Newspaper, a brother of the Lord Supper Department and a sister from the Choir. Our initiative is supported by several leaders of the Church, namely: •    The Lead Evangelist Francis DASSE •    The Chairman of the Executive Board Mr. Emile N’GORAN •    The Executive Director of HOPE CI Dr. Solange BALOU •    and many others. email: conference.texas2012@yahoo.fr kessedou.mael@gmail.com Phone Contact: +225 062 499 82 +225 495 750 47 +225 676 873 06 +225 082 581 32 WHAT DO WE NEED: The estimated cost of the trip is $20 000 USD and includes the following:       Cheap Flights: $ 14 400       Accommodations: $ 3108       Food: $ 1680      Transport and Travels: $ 81 HOW ELSE CAN YOU HELP: If there is an accommodations with disciples to save on the hotel expense even better!

May God Bless you! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Project 2: Breaking the Cycle of Poverty with Mother Earth Funding Goal: $1400 Current: $24 Ends: 6/11/12 Instead of simply renting space or building a traditional commercial building for our much needed office space we've embarked on a project to construct a building in which ninety percent of the building materials will be on-site earth, and the resulting structure will have a zero carbon footprint.  We were very fortunate to have been awarded a grant for this effort which will be the 1st in the United States. Greenspace is what we've named it. It will offer environmental education  and continue serving underprivileged and poverty stricken families from the surrounding communities. This project has been considered of such significance that it has been endorsed by Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection, a national organization devoted to preservation of the environment. We hope to continue serving the community by hosting educational programs for the children and families we serve.  Our goal is to raise 100 folding chairs to fill Greenspace with as many that can benefit from programs like: Connect to College Mentoring Program which is designed to inspire at-risk, low income children to stay in school, go to college and break the cycle of poverty. Pomona Valley Urban Agriculture Initiative (PVUAI): Unemployed immigrants with farming expertise (whose children are in our program) will be employed raising organic fruits and vegetables for the Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County markets. For every acre of land put into production, one farm family can be supported Miguel Bonilla, grew up in El Salvador working 14 hour days from the age of 10 to the age of 21 supervising his family’s 12 acre farm while his father worked in a mine; truly a hard working man. Yet in pursuit of more for his family he found himself in the land of opportunity struggling to support his family. Fortunately our paths crossed and we were thrilled to have been able to help him become the second farmer that was hired as part of the PVUAI initiative.  Mr. Bonilla gained not just employment but an opportunity to strengthen the future of his children. His son actually became involved in our mentoring program and recently graduated from our Connect to College program is now in the joint UCLA-UC Riverside pre-me
