Ideas and Suggestions for Donations
Download this document
We want to present you a list of suggestions to consider if you are able to bring stuff for your primary ministry and even for other ministries (which you will still visit, but not spend the bulk of time) as well for our local administration.
You can also get some of this stuff here, but if you are in the capability of bringing it, is ok too! Remember, all of this is optional, but will richly bless the ministries that we serve. We realize the space is a limitation, but think how much you will bless others by just collecting what you can.
Keep in mind if you could bring something for your host family. A small present for the family will be nice and really appreciated.
This list is extensive, but not exclusive. If you want to find out specific needs of a particular ministry or during a specific season, please contact us. If you have other ideas, suggestions or questions about what to bring, feel free to ask us. info@estrategiadetransformacion.com
