Dear Friend,
We have an amazing opportunity to lead a team of students to help Child Soldiers in Uganda recover from their trauma and move towards holistic healing in Christ. From March 4-13, 2010 we will be working with The Zion Project (www.zionproject.org), a mission to girls kidnapped and forced to be child soldiers who have now escaped. In most cases these girls have been forced to be sex slaves and have returned with children. Both the women and their children are shamed and rejected by their villages as there is a belief that evil spirits now inhabit both them and their children. In addition, in many cases, the children were forced to perform horrific acts including killing family members and/or friends. While there are many, many videos which show the horrific conditions and results, here is a video made by group we will be working with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OPvYr4Y16E
We are asking you to consider two requests. First, we ask that you please pray for us, our safety, our financial support and the people we will have the opportunity to impact for the Healer and great Counselor. Second, we ask that you might consider sponsoring us financially. To cover all expenses we hope to raise $7500. Any funds raised over that amount will be donated to the Zion Project. All gifts are tax deductable! We are trusting God will meet this important need and hope you will be blessed through being a blessing.
You can send your prayers to God J and your financial support to:
1. Aletheia Church
P.O. 2637
2. Through the website: www.aletheiachurch.org

We pray that you will consider this prayerfully and if you like, we hope you will share this with your friends, Sunday School classes and/or church. Through this may you find and share shalom peace (internal peace in the midst of external warfare). If you have additional questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 540.421.6476.
We love you J-- and pray you will join us on the great adventure of life and hope and healing!
Bill and Cindy Evans
