"CFL Africa"


Dear friends and family,

Can you envision a place that is home to the highest AIDS population of any country on the planet, where one in five is HIV+ and more than 35 people die of AIDS every hour? It’s hard to fathom, but this horrific AIDS epidemic in South Africa has left behind 3-6 million orphans, most of whom now live in Squatter Camps, with millions already suffering the effects of parents who are sick and dying of AIDS.

I want to share with you a challenging ministry opportunity God has presented to me. During September 27, 2012 – October 9, 2012, I will be going to Durban, South Africa with a team from Mantle Ministries

Our 13-day trip will focus mainly on partnering with Key of Hope Ministries (http://www.keyofhope.org/) and holding a Champions For Life Kids’ Camp for some of these kids who have been abandoned or orphaned, who have little hope for life and a future, by taking them away from their Squatter Villages to a Christian Camp in the mountains where we will be sharing the love of God with them in a family-style atmosphere with self-esteem building activities. Many of you are already aware of the wonderful testimonies from the CFL Camps we do here through Vision Hope (http://visionhope.org/), and now we have the opportunity to extend this ministry to Durban South Africa.


I'm excited about the opportunity and experiences that lie ahead. I hope you see the value in what we will accomplish. As you can imagine, a trip like this requires a huge commitment along with financial support from a number of people. I will need to raise between $3,500 and $4,000 for this trip. If you can support me in a financial way, I would be very grateful. 


And, most importantly, I need your prayer support. 
Prayer is the fuel that will allow us to be 
successful as we follow God's leading in 
ministry in this country.

Without prayer, nothing will happen.
If you would like to be part of this mission through your financial support, you can send a check to: Mantle Ministries, 31700 Couchez, St. Clair Shores, MI 48082.

Please make your check payable to Mantle Ministries and write "CFL Africa" on the memo line. Also, please attach a small note with my name on it to indicate that the support will go to my expenses specifically. All contributions are tax deductible and you will receive a receipt at the end of the tax year.

While money is important, it comes in a distant second to my need for your prayer support. Since prayer support is so important to the success of this mission, I would like to know if I can count on you in that area. Please pray daily for “CFL Africa”.

Because they need God’s love,

Liz Campbell
