In a time when people often think in terms of limitations and impossibilities (this cannot be done, that is not allowed etc.) we can see that God draws His own plan and pours out His blessings without restriction. That makes us very happy!
The proceeds of our shop Twinkeltje over the month of May were a surprise, partly as a result of the help of volunteer Chantal de Jong who has been selling nice vintage and retro stuff for the benefit of Traveling Light in her Atelier Café De Schor in Papendrecht. A total of 1,600 euro was raised for the work Sokrat & Lena Apostolovski are doing among the Roma children in Macedonia.
So many nice items kept coming in that Chantal and Cora designated part of 'De Schor' as a vintage shop. The store is open every Friday from 10:00 to 17:00 hours. The proceeds will always go towards Traveling Light. How great is that! We are expanding in a time of crisis 😁
So, go visit Chantal on Fridays! On Saturdays our own Twinkeltje is open from 12:00 to 17:00 hours, as usual. Every month we choose a different project as beneficiary of the proceeds (from both shops now). For June, that will be the work of Teen Challenge among the homeless and addicted in Georgia.
We have also been able to donate 3,500 euro towards Embrace, the work of Michael and Janet van Boxtel among the poor and addicted in Hungary. As you can see in the picture, Michael makes music and sings undisturbed, during the distribution of food parcels.
As of June 1st, we have started our prayer meetings again:- 1st Friday afternoon of the month: we facilitate Lunch Prayer Papendrecht
- 1st Friday evening of the month: Regional prayer Alblasserwaard
- 2nd Friday evening of the month: Re-Store (healing room)
- 3rd Friday evening of the month: Prayer for the Nations
Gifts for our current project, the construction of a Christian drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Lebanon, are coming in daily. Thank you very much for that, keep 'm coming. We would like to sow a donation of 4,000 euro!
GIFTS (large and small) for all our projects are always welcome and can be directed at St. Traveling Light in Papendrecht, IBAN: NL91RABO0118582275 BIC: RABONL2U.
