Needs List – February 2010

To Whom It May Concern:

Enclosed is a list of the current needs of Peacemakers International. Scroll down to view the list or click here.

Peacemakers International was birthed to reach the lost, to give hope to the hopeless and help to the helpless; to demonstrate the love of God to the outcasts and rejected of society. We are here to make a difference in the lives of men and women and to help to establish God’s standard in their lives. Peacemakers International is also a teaching and training facility to develop leaders and followers to do the work of the ministry. We have committed ourselves to work as a team to fulfill God’s dream in the lives of the less fortunate. The challenges we face will be stepping stones to new doors of opportunity to touch more lives. We put no limits on the vision that God places before us, as we step out in faith to accomplish His purpose. We dedicate this work to the glory of God and the advancement of His kingdom.

We are involved in a variety of outreach activities geared towards our inner city neighborhood in the Chene and I-94 area. Please consider assisting us in this great endeavor. More information about our ministry can be found at www.peacemakersinternational.org . Please see the website to learn more about what God is doing through Peacemakers International. We have ministry opportunities available for volunteer groups, please contact us for more information.

This list will be updated on a monthly basis. Thank you for your time and support! God bless.
