Mission
Ministry Hosts New Year’s Eve Gala
Destination Known, mission ministry of EUM Church in Greenville, Ohio,
is hosting a New Year’s Eve Gala to benefit families living in the
garbage dump communities in Guatemala. The evening will consist of
dinner, dancing and a live auction to be held at Romer’s Catering in
Greenville.
Destination Known has been building homes for families over the past
ten years in partnership with Potter’s House Association International.
During a week-long mission trip, the team works to build a home for
families that make a living in very harsh conditions around the city
garbage dump. These families live in shanties made of wood and metal
fastened together with anything they can find. Most of them have dirt
floors that allow the garbage to wash through during the rainy season,
and many have no electricity or running water. At the end of the week,
it is a blessing to present them with keys to a new home made of cinder
block, cement floors, a new tin roof, electricity and running water.
This house may only be about 100 square feet, but it is so much more to
the family that receives it! Visit www.eumchurch.org to watch a video
showing the house building process. Our teams have built 14 homes for
families living in this area and would like to continue to build more.
However, this is becoming increasingly difficult due to the increased
cost of building supplies.
The Gala will begin at 8:00 pm with hors d'oeuvres, dinner will be
served at 8:30, with dancing and a live auction to follow. This is an
alcohol free event with 100% of the proceeds will be used to build
homes for families living in a shanty community around the Guatemala
City garbage dump.
Tickets are on sale now! The cost is $50 per person or $85 per couple.
Reserved seating is also available for $350 for a table of 8. Tickets
may be purchased at EUM Church, A&B Coffee and Cakes, Dave Knapp
Ford Lincoln, and Romer's Catering.
