Friends, First our financial report on the appeal at the end of the year which must cover the whole coming year somehow of mission and service by Hosanna in Moscow. we need $50,000 after two weeks we have 1,085 and pledges of 990 total = $2,075 so it is a start but not nearly enough think of it as a six week appeal reaching into January and if we do the math... ? do you see the problem...? and we are running on empty in Moscow... of course we have some prospects, but also if you are of kindred spirit we need your help. at end of post information on how to donate by paypal immediately or by check. 2) Fr Men Filmstrip pictures as stills The filmstrip of his life itself narrated in the language of your choice may be downloaded at: http://home.earthlink.net/~amenpage/slideshw.htm now I have downloaded the 200 slides and they are available as galleries in 14 pages at: http://voyager.smugmug.com/gallery/1518914 Perhaps this can be useful or interesting to some...? 3)News of Hosanna. Beginning to use the new missionary center , there was a meeting of the community today with a meal and presentation and discussion of God's revelation...many includding new people were present. Later plans were made for the sending of teams to prisons at Christmas and the planned Christian cultural festival in January plan went forward as posters were ordered (frankly in faith believing that we will have money to pay for them) to put up publicizing this God willing major event. (at yearend we are running on empty in Moscow even as to paying a stipend to those who work in the office and produce the magazine etc) well God has given this work to us, us in Moscow and us here together...it requires us all... and so in this work and with this appeal I am yours with Love in Christ the Lord, +Seraphim Joseph Sigrist Donations for HOSANNA to The Patristic Society c.o 320 South Broadway, Unity P-7 Tarrytown New York 10591 (all correspondence to me: ssigrist@xxxxxxxxx, or sigrist@xxxxxxxx ) OR TO PAYPAL --CLICK ON "DONATE" BUTTON AT http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=hosanna AND FOLLOW THE SIMPLE DIRECTIONS TO MAKE CREDIT CARD OR BANK ACCOUNT DONATION.
