What is Cup? Christmas at the CarePoints and $100,000 matching grant update!

(image too small? click to enlarge)
Lots of amazing praises and a few prayers to ask you for.  Less than 1 week until surgery and then focus on returning to Africa!  May this new year see you seeking the Living God in new ways every day!  HE is SO worth it…and so are YOU!

Year end opportunity

$25,000 matched so far.. $75,000 to go!

We are SUPER excited about the future and the sustainability of the “long term”. We have opportunity to purchase an existing Bed and Breakfast type setup in South Africa. Approximately $200,000 needed. These facilities comes fully setup and will allow for:

· Lower cost for short term missionary housing (sleeps 24)

· Office Space for Children’s Cup staff to work out of

· Large training room/facility for meetings, worship and future leadership school/Bible school

· Home for us and another missionary to live in full time

· Storage facility for food parcels (Feed My Starving Children fortified rice)

· Transitional housing for new missionaries on the field

· Retreat area for field missionaries as a central location to Zim, Moz, Swazi, & SA

· Less dependency on monthly support from donors( funds diverted to projects)

We believe that this is a gift that will benefit MANY for years to come, and the idea of having home and office with NO rent-allows us to free up more funds for immediate needs of those around us. Your gift (in our name) will solidify this vision, equip a generation, bless missionaries and be matched $for$ up to $100,000. So we only need to raise approx $100,000 to secure a property($25,000 raised and matched so far...just $75,000 to go)!! Would you consider giving a one time gift today? Tax deductible at www.childrenscup.org/hildebrant-family/ or contact us directly if you do not need a tax deduction.

This picture represents just one of the possible properties available right now.

Bless you. we hope you can come serve with us and have Him mold your heart for the precious kids we love so much!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to YOU!!! We are so grateful for your prayers and support
allowing us to be in the USA for a season. The Christmas Celebrations have
started in Africa, and we long to be back with our Children...soon, very
soon!

What a beautiful season to celebrate our Savior with friends and family, we
pray that you are experiencing His fullness as well.

January 4th will bring all of the repair and reversal surgeries in South
Carolina for Mitch, and Char will be keeping everyone posted daily at
www.facebook.com/mitchchar, as always, we sure appreciate your prayers. We
are Praying for quick healing and that God will honor "our" plans to return
to Africa on February 18th.

We have just over $75,000 to raise to match the $100,000 grant we received
to secure property in South Africa(part of a sustainable business plan
decreasing support dependence, and freeing up funds for feeding children and
equipping them with the HOPE of Jesus). If you are led to participate, or
have more money than you know what to do with before the end of the tax
year, we would be grateful to partner with you in this way.

We would love it if you decided to COME SERVE WITH US August 15-25 Contact
us for details!

Much LOVE!
