FUN DAY ENDS SUCCESSFULLY

On Saturday the 4th of April this year we had our much anticipated ACMI Fun Day. This was a day of creating awareness about ACMI to our local community and raising funds for tent fabrication for missions which was all done in a fun way. Guests began arriving a little after 10 a.m. They toured the stands that were there such as Fina Bank who were our sponsors and Enjoy Bookshop who were also exhibiting. The other stands had ACMI Departments such as DrillingOperation HopeCarvings and Missions.

The guests then settled in the main hall for a concert graced by Jimmy Gait, one of our national gospel music artistes. He encouraged the youth concerning having a bright future and trusting God as well as working hard towards it.

In the afternoon we had the fundraising event in which we had the main fundraising session. Money was collected through the auctioning of an ACMI T-shirt and people giving what they had prepared to come and give. We also had someone win the phone for which we had been selling raffle tickets.


God blessed us with favorable weather for which we are very grateful seeing as we were using tents out in the open. We were also glad that the people who came did enjoy themselves as well as give to support the mission work here.

We are now having other projects coming up the biggest being the fabrication of tents. We shall be communicating with you as the future plans unfold. We would also love to hear from you and many thanks to those of you who have been writing us. If you were not able to come you can still give your contribution since we did not raise enough money on that day. May God continue to bless each one of you in the way you most need it.

In Christ’s love,

ACMI
