On Saturday, April 25, NetWork Christian Ministries successfully launched its series of events to benefit the Gawad Kalinga Movement (see http:\\www.gawadkalinga.org) with their Spring Fiesta Benefit and Dance. The local church has partnered with the GK movement in their vision of eradicating poverty in the Philippines one community at a time. Even as light dinner was served and dancing commenced, those who participated also raised money through a silent auction and a live dessert auction (where cakes that normally retail for $25 drew as much as $100 - $150). Who says dancers can't shell out for a good cause?
The event also included a time of testimony from Sis. Georginette Cleofe, a GK advocate, and a call from Pastor Dondi to give to the cause. All the work for the event was done by volunteers from NWCM and all the items auctioned off were donated so all the proceeds went towards the Team Evergreen Washington Village fund...
"The Spring Fiesta for GK is only the beginning," dreams Pastor Dondi. "In the future, we hope to be involved in other causes and partner with organizations whose goal is to alleviate suffering in this world - both local and international. We believe that is what God has called our particular local church to do. That's what the members of our community have dedicated their lives to."
If you would like more information or would like to make a donation to support our dream of building the Team Evergreen Village, please email us at nwcm.fw@comcast.net.
