Hello friends and family. We greet you in the name of Jesus during this season of hustle and bustle and hopefully Christmas cheer. No doubt your year has been filled with blessings and challenges, as has ours. To not recognize the blessings of our year would be to not honor what God has done for us. To not recognize the challenges would be to not give God the glory for carrying us through each one of those challenges.
The work God called us to in Rwanda always has its challenges, and yet it always has its rewards as we are blessed to serve in a way where we can often see the fruits of our labor and know your prayers and support are lifting us up.
As you consider your end of year giving or giving for 2012 we’d ask you to consider the 12-12-12 plan to help us secure the funding we need for the upcoming year. We would like to ask that you pray about and consider becoming a financial partner in our work. Without people like you we could not be in Rwanda doing God’s work through education, community development, and faith building.
Next year is 2012. There are 12 months in a year. We are asking that you become a partner for 2012 in any ratio of 12. For example, an amount of $120 or $1,200 would equal $10 or $100 a month. You might also choose to give $12/month, or $12 for each person in your family who will receive a Christmas gift from you, or $12 for every time you say something you regretted saying, or $12 every time you go to a movie. Be as creative as you like with the use of 12. That is the 12-12-12 plan.
It is interesting to note that 12 is considered one of the perfect numbers (ex. Rev. 21) from a Biblical perspective. Genesis 12 starts with a call from God to Abram to leave the land he was living in and go where God tells him. God’s people would become a testimony to all nations of the one true God. We believe God called us to this same message and same testimony and thus we left our land to serve as ambassadors for Christ in Rwanda, Africa.
If you would like to partner financially in this ministry through a 12-12-12 plan (or give another amount one-time or monthly) then you can go to ROC Partners and click “Donate to the Hixsons” to schedule credit card or checking account partnerships.
