Catholic World Mission has been given an incredible opportunity
$1 will
deliver $608.77 in medicine!
But we must act immediately!
They say
lightning never strikes twice, but "for God all things are
possible." (Matthew 19:26) And our Heavenly Father let inspiration strike
twice at a very generous corporation.
Last spring, this company-which seeks
no publicity with its gifts-presented us with $4.6 million in
medicine. Essential supplies went to the Missionaries of the Poor
Sisters in the Philippines. You may have even helped with
the shipping costs. Thousands of desperately poor people received the
fruit of Christ´s healing ministry.
This stunning success impressed corporate officials
so much they want to do it again this year
- quadrupling their generosity to $15,401,844.36 in medical supplies!
But we
face a serious, immediate challenge: we must pay for the
shipping costs. Our Lord again asks you and me to
send His gifts to the Philippines. We urgently need to
act now to ship these medicines quickly. You see, many
of these medicines are perishable. And they are sitting on
the dock until we can raise the full amount of
the $25,300 needed for shipping. But imagine the power of
your gift!
Every ten dollars you give will deliver $6087.69 in
medicine for the poor.
* Your $24.50 donation will bring $15,000 in
antibiotics to save a poor child´s life!
* A $41 gift
will deliver more than $25,000 of medicine to cure a
poor mother´s tuberculosis so she can care for her children!
* Your check for $65.75 will send $40,000 worth of medication
to treat a father so he can once again work
to support his family to the Philippines!
* A donation of
$100 means delivery of $60,877 in urgently needed supplies.
Medical supplies
we buy without a second thought in the United States
are luxuries on the islands where these children live. In
these areas, medicines aren´t sold in bottles but are sold
just one pill at a time because they are so
scarce and expensive. Yet together we can raise the $25,300
to make sure the sisters have everything they need as
they bring these people the hope of the Gospel and
the tender love of Jesus.
Your gift, in the hands of
Catholic missionaries, will save lives!
Your love, extended through the hands
of the sisters, will relieve untold suffering!
Remember: we need to
raise the entire $25,300 shipping fee quickly so the medicines
will arrive before they expire. Please be as generous as
you can--we need whatever gift you can send right away.
Please
join us as we heal souls and bodies. Please
take part in this ministry today with your needed gift
to this urgent campaign.
