Dear CCAM Partners and Friends,
Another trip opportunity has just surfaced that I’m excited to tell you about!
Before my U.S. trip begins on July 17, I’ve been invited to share about the CCAM ministry at the Lausanne Conference, Global Consultation on Music and Missions, in Chiang Mai, Thailand, July 6-9. They showcase all of the arts used in ministry, not just music. Joan Eubank of CCI was the one who networked on my behalf. I’ve already been awarded a scholarship to pay for the hotel. The cost of my airfare and conference fees would be $500.
If God prompts you to donate funds toward my trip expenses (either for Thailand or the U.S.), please send checks designated for “Gioia’s Trip” to the following address:
CCAM
P.O. Box 2918
Loveland, CO 80539
U.S.A.
Or you may use PayPal on our website: http://www.ccamvision.org/donate_now/paypal.php
Looks like 2015 is God’s year for connecting CCAM with other like-minded ministries and missions in the global Body of Christ! To God be the glory!
And perhaps this is also the year that God will restore to CCAM a steady flow of pledged donations to provide abundantly for all of our needs (Philippians 4:19). Even though God continues to produce abundant fruit through the varied CCAM ministries, nevertheless, CCAM’s overall pledged monthly support, which began to decline back in 2008, still remains inadequate to meet basic needs today. I’ve been giving almost all of my Social Security each month to help out, but even that is not enough. We continue to do without some things. Please pray that God will use my trips this summer to connect us with potential donors, intercessors, and volunteers.
Many thanks to those of you who continue to help sustain us through your faithful prayers, financial donations, and practical helps.
Riding the waves of God’s provision,
Gioia
“I know how to get along with humble means, and I know how to live in prosperity;
in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry,
both of having abundance and suffering need.
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”
Philippians 4:12-13
“And my God shall supply all your needs
according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:19
“Let us not lose heart in doing good
for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.”
Galatians 6:9
