Trinity
Wesleyan launches Both Hands mission
On September 29, Trinity Wesleyan Church, alongside Wes & April
Lynch, are planning a different kind of outreach. The church and a team
of volunteers are working on the home of Martha Warvel, who lives in
Greenville. Pastor Wes says, “Martha is a widow within our church
in Greenville, OH. She lives on a farm with numerous outbuildings and
is in need of assistance with upkeep on the exterior of her home. We
are honored to be able to bless her through this service project.”
Volunteers will not only be helping this widow, but they will also be
raising funds to offset the cost for the Lynch family’s adoption. Wes
& April have felt called to adoption for many years, and now that
adoption is almost a reality. For more details visit
www.BothHands.org/Lynch-7734.
Both Hands’ mission is “to serve orphans, widows and adoptive
families.” Both Hands helps families fundraise for their adoptions. A
family gathers a team of volunteers and Both Hands coaches them to
coordinate a service project fixing up a widow’s home. The family and
their team send letters to raise sponsorship for their day of service.
It’s very similar to raising sponsorship for a 5K race, but instead of
running, the team is serving a widow. The funds raised help an orphan
become adopted into a forever family. Both Hands – one hand for the
widow, one hand for the orphan. Committed to fundraising support for
its operating expenses through private donors, no funds raised by a
family and their team are deducted for Both Hands’ administrative costs.
Since 2008, Both Hands projects have raised over $9,400,000 for
adoptions and orphan care. Through 830 Both Hands projects in 42
states, 900 widows have been served, 1,000+ orphans are closer to
forever families, and over 20,000 volunteers have served their
communities.
Businesses and individuals may join hands with this team by donating
supplies for this project. Please contact Pastor Wes at 765-546-1598
for more information.
