Alaska's Mount McKinley Gary Chapman |
 I am about to tackle Alaska's Mount McKinley - to raise funds for for my wifes charity in The Philippines (PCF) and my good friends Rick & Gillys' charity (MSM) in India.Supporting our overseas partners: 80% of all funds raised will go to PCF and 20% to MSM I have self funded all my costs so EVERY penny of your support goes to the charities McKinley is a pretty daunting place. The highest mountain in North America, McKinley is one of the Seven Summits at 6,100 metres (20,320 feet) and probably the coldest mountain on the planet. Because McKinley is only a few hundred miles below the Arctic circle I will, at times, be experiencing temperatures down to minus 40 celcius and 100 mph winds. For this reason, climbing Mt McKinley combines the challenges of high-altitude climbing with those of a polar expedition. Add to that the necessity of carrying a 70 litre backpack plus dragging a sled of equipment for 2 weeks and you can see how worthy a challenge it will be. We get dropped off on a glacier by a small aeroplane with skis - Hike to base camp with snow shoes - set up 4 further camps - then (hopefully) attempt the summit. I have been training like crazy for the last four months - climbers typically use 4,000 - 5,000 calories a day on such an expedition. I fly to Alaska on April 27. A big thank you for all your support since my last climb up Mt Blanc in 2009 for the same charities. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.

LITTLE ANGELS, Goa India, New toilets needed |
 Through our work MSM has developed a particular heart for children with special needs. Sadly there are not sufficient homes to accommodate children with such needs. We have an opportunity to make a difference, and MSM are now supporting The newly opened 'Little Angels' home, a localy run Trust who's vision is to give children with special needs a loving and encouraging environment with appropriate education and training to enable them to express their talents and become independant and self supporting adults. The dwelling is and has been adequate till now but with the addition of more children with special needs we are desperate for new toilets and showers. Please pray that this can be done soon to make their lives easier. Below is a Video for Warblington school, A BIG thank you to them for their support and Fundraising. |

LITTLE ANGELS Goa, India |

A.F.R.A Home - Chennai - India
Urgent help needed |
|
MSM have a long standing relationship with AFRA, who provide a loving home to 48 children aged between 4 and 21 years. The home was started by Josephs mother in the 70's in a small two room dwelling and this was all that existed when we first visited them. Gods love is really evident here and the home has grown and developed in the subsequent years. MSM have supported the home for many years alongside local support from the surrounding areas. Now one of the local organisations has decided to end its financial support, leaving AFRA to be under threat of iminent closure, we are praying for additional support to protect the future of the children and this wonderfull home. |

MSM Link with new CafeChurch venture |
 MSM are very pleased to have been able to give a grant towards the set up costs for the new Cafe Church at Costa Coffee outlet in Waterloville, Hampshire. Increasingly we recognise that for many of those we want to reach, our friends, family etc, our church building can act as a barrier.
For many in our society today the church building on the high street is seen as a symbol of ‘religion’ and the meeting place of ‘religious people’, old fashioned, out dated and without relevance.
Whatever is going on in there they are not going to come in to find out!. People who have never set foot into a church, but who have a spiritual hunger, people, from all walks of life, who do not want religion, but need reality, are all welcome at cafechurch. We started to think; if Jesus was among us here today in our city He would want to meet people, sit with people, talking, listening to them from where they are at.
One of those places might be a coffee shop. |

News from Pastor Stephen ILIGAN Philipines. |
 The Building at the Dumpsite to which a certain Church rented for years is now our new Venue for our We have now occupied the building and together we have singing, Bible stories and Games for Children. We need your prayers for the following: 1. The Building has no Electric power connection, we are still working on it, the owner have already given me the Land Title, the Notarized Authorization, authorizing us to apply for an Electric Power connection at the ILIGAN LIGHT & POWER COMPANY, INC. 2. The Building has no Comfort Room (Toilet), because the former Church using the Building has a member whose house is just very near to the Building, so, every time they would feel to use the restroom, they would just go to that house, but right now, the new owner of the house would no longer allow us to use their CR, the children just go anywhere and do their thing, but that’s not a good practice, we need to train them on personal hygiene. Please pray that the LORD will provide us for the Electric Power Connection and for the materials needed to build a Comfort Room (Toilet). Also windows for when it rains as there are none at this time We will be using the Building for: - FEEDING FROGRAM every Saturday - PRAYER MEETING Wednesday afternoon - SUNDAY AFTERNOON WORSHIP & FELLOWSHIP - For Seminar on EVANGELISM & DISCIPLESHIP - Tutorial Class for Children on Mathematics, English, Science and Arts (Drawings) - For Training on Livelihood for the Parents of the Children - And for other relevant Activities. |

New Van for MSM |
|
Great thanks to Steve and Fran Burnett 'Compact and Bale' for an answer to prayer for some time. For the last 4-5 years we have had to get by with numerous old vans to get us to venues to raise awareness and much needed funding, many times we have broken down and had to pay for costly repairs, but now our prayers have been answered in the form of a 3 year old beautiful van, fully maintained and serviced, praise God. A lesson for us all,"for those who wait on the Lord, in HIS name it will surely come to pass" |
