Inspirational & Introspection – Philipians 4:4,10-11
Rejoice in the Lord always... Indeed, you were concerned, but lacked opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.

Don't give in to commerce and sales pitch at Christmas - be intentional with what you do with the resources God has given you... spend less, give more to those in need.  
 
Peace, goodwill toward men... Luke 2:10-11.


Please send us your feedback. We're always delighted to read them and appreciate your candor.

Hi {FIRST_NAME},
As Christmas day arrives with the end of year in sight – Ogechi Florence and I wants to wish all our friends and partners a very Merry Christmas, and A Happy & Prosperous New Year.

On behalf of the RNM Board of Directors, we give all praises to God for His mercies and incredible kindness demonstrated through many of your generous contributions to the work of ministry at RNM, enabling us to bring clean water to the thirsty along with the Word.

As a result, during 2011, we were able to complete some 24 projects consisting of 20 new wells and 4 Rehab projects with several Health & Hygiene sessions; two collaborative Medical Outreaches along with project related evangelism to bring people into God’s kingdom. We also supported Health & Hygiene knowledge sharing via IMO FM Radio through Dr. Ben Mbata of Total Care Health Center in OWERRI, IMO State. In all, we reached approximately 65,000 people in Nigeria alone. We were also able to touch a few lives, especially, orphans, and widows, through our collaboration with two active gospel preaching Churches in India.

If you missed the opportunity to give a special Christmas gift in order to help us reach out to the poor & needy in the communities where we work; or continue to partner with us and support our general funds, please feel free to use our donations page at www.relief-networks.org/donation.htm today.
