Special Missionary Need — Romania, 7-9-09
July 9th, 2009 | By Missions Committee | Posted in Get Involved, MissionsThe following special missionary need is conveyed by Romania Reborn, which is currently supported by Blue Ridge Bible Church.
We ask that you prayerfully consider helping meet this need while recognizing that BRBC’s existing support to Romania Reborn will continue, and that any contributions for this purpose be above and beyond your current giving to BRBC.
Dear Friends,
We need to share with you an urgent need facing Hope House.Hope House is required to pay salary taxes for all of its employees (including its 20 foster parents). These taxes are due every July & January and go toward government-mandated pension and healthcare for the employees.
Hope House currently does not have the $9,600 needed to pay its taxes, which are due July 25th. Unfortunately, the amount that Romania Reborn sends each month is only enough to cover salaries, not additional taxes. Over the last 18 months, another foundation has graciously been sending Hope House extra money which has helped them pay their taxes, but that assistance is no longer enough to meet the need.
Would you be willing and able to help with this need? Gifts of any amount will help Hope House pay the tax bill, avoid additional penalties, and ultimately keep all of its 30 children in good families. The only way to trim our ministry costs would be to terminate some of our children’s foster care and put them at the mercy of the state system, an option we’re very loathe to consider.
If you can help with this urgent need, please contact us by Wednesday, July 15th at info@romania-reborn.org or 304-535-1555, and let us know what amount you’re able to send. (RR has enough money on-hand to advance the sum if we know that pledges are coming to cover the amount — but we don’t have enough to pay it outright without jeopardizing our regular monthly support.)
Or, if your gifts will arrive by July 15th, you may simply send them to us:
- by check: mail to Romania Reborn, P.O. Box 2027, Purcellville, VA 20134.
- by credit card: go to https://app.etapestry.com/hosted/RomaniaReborn/OnlineDonation.html to give online. In the “Fund” field, select “Special Project” and then type “Hope House taxes” in the box.
As always, these donations are tax-deductible.
Thank you for considering helping Hope House keep its kids in loving homes! Please be praying with us for God’s provision. We will keep you posted on our progress in raising the $9,600 needed.
Thank you for your prayers and support!
God bless,
Jayme
