Fall Update
Happy Fall Ya'll! There's lots of exciting updates from Ometepe and the USA. Congratulations to our college program coordinator, Priscilla, and her spouse, Josue, on the birth of their daughter, Mayzie!
We're going to Central America from Nov. 23 - Dec 7 to visit our growing team, celebrate year-end milestones and plan for 2024. If you are a College Student Sponsor, you should have received a letter via USPS from Rochelle. The deadline to mail your student cards/letters is November 15.
Please pray with us as we continue to navigate this season of changes. Our top priority is to remain focused on God's will for our lives and ministry. We now have a permanent address in the Carolinas! It is:
123 Wild Heather Drive, Campobello, SC 29322
As always, please contact us on how we can pray for YOU during this last bit of 2023.
Love & Peace,
T.J. and Rochelle Scott, Co-Founders, OBGM
PRAYER REQUEST(S):
BABIES (and the parents of): Mayzie, Jayden, Arleth, Rochelle and Nathalie. Health clinic applications. Maderas Artisans woodshop project. Dr. Sandra Villagra. For humankind around the globe to release fear and embrace the peace of God.
"then God's wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ. Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic & real, honorable & respectful, pure & holy, merciful & kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always" - Philippians 4:7-8 TPT
During September, the required gov't applications were submitted for the community health clinic scheduled in early 2024.
Our goal is to exceed the scope of last year's medical clinic (see video) and bring more professional hands to treat over 300 men, women and children with quality care, including women's health. Prescription medications and vitamin supplements will be dispensed on-site. The overall budget (not including US travel costs) is only $6,250.
We're are now at 25% of our fundraising goal. Can you help us make it to 100%?
OMETEPE ARTISANS 2.0
2023 we had to put the Ometepe Artisans project and Etsy Shop on hold. In 2024 we want to offer these indigenous artisans some options for materials and a space at Casa Mariposa for a future workshop(s). If you are passionate about this program, there are two (2) ways you can help foster the vision:
SPONSOR MATERIALS. For only $10.00 USD, you can sponsor an entire tray of stone/glass beads, wire, claps or connectors. We will send you a photo of your sponsorship & artisans in the coming months.
ETSY Shop - Shop the current FLASH SALE for select stone/wire earrings and butterfly brace/anklets. Proceeds will be applied to purchase more raw materials.
