Pancake Breakfast is a Success

Thanks to all who came to eat and/or volunteer at our first Applebee's Pancake Breakfast! We were able to raise over $800 for the team's general fund. It was a great kickoff to our fundraising efforts.

Mission Spotlight: David Wood Ministries

CIC financially supports David A. Wood and his ministry. We recently received an update from him. Note that the letter is written to our pastor, but it is intended to reach our entire congregation with it's words:

Dear Brother Tibbs,

Thanks so much for allowing Charlestown Independent Church to support our ministry. You have now become an integral part of THE WITNESS PROJECT. After our review, we wanted to let you know that you have now met the level of commitment of $250.00; becoming a "WITNESS." Your investment has proved the complete sponsorship of one National pastor. Thank you, once again. Should you decide to stay with us, your next level of commitment will be that of "PARTNER." We look forward to our relationship with you in this great endeavor.

Brother Brian, your friendship has been a personal source of encouragement to us in so many ways. We trust that as our partnership in the ministry continues to grow, our combined efforts will be used of the Lord to see thousands come to Christ-and many churches planted here in America and worldwide.

I am enclosing a special certificate for you to frame. Your becoming a "WITNESS" in our ministry here in Trenton is a special blessing to us. Thank you for enabling us to train and equip National pastors. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to serve you.

May God continue to bless you and your family in the forthcoming days!

Yours for Souls,
David A. Wood
