WINTER COFFEE CHALLENGE!



Christmas is over.  The decorations already have or are currently making their way towards storage for the next year, and life is returning to some sense of normal rhythm again.  You know what, though?  It's never too late or early to give.  There are so many worthwhile causes to give to that count on your support throughout the year, not just at Christmas time.  It just so happens our family is included in that group I mentioned above.  We want to move to Uganda.  We are full of anticipation for the day that God tells us to "GO!"  But we need your help to get there!  Will you help us make Christ known to the children of Uganda by answering this simple question: How much money do you spend monthly on specialty coffee drinks? $25, $50, $75?

Would you consider spending that amount as a monthly supporter of our ministry to Uganda with WorldVenture?

Our goal is to be at 60% of full-funding by March 1st, 80% by May 1st, and 100% funding and on our way to Uganda by August. This is a lofty goal, but we know that with God's help and His people generously giving, we can reach Uganda soon! If you would like to be a part of our Winter Coffee Challenge there are several ways you can give.  In terms of ease, we recommend donating online, but any option works.

DONATE ONLINE: You can log on to WORLDVENTURE click the MAKE A COMMITMENT tab and set up a payment arrangement or electronic funds transfer by selecting our name (HEERSINK, BRANDON AND ELIZABETH) under the drop down in the middle of the page. If you choose this method, please make sure that donation/giving is allocated to Brandon and Elizabeth Heersink.

SNAIL MAIL: Another great way to start giving is to mail a check to the WorldVenture Headquarters, ATTN: Donor Relations 1501 W. Mineral Avenue, Littleton, CO 80120.  With this option, we ask that you make the check payable to WORLDVENTURE and add Heersink #063 to the memo line, without adding our name and special number, that money won't make it's way to our account.  Please also specify in your mailing whether the commitment is monthly, quarterly, or annually.

PHONE A FRIEND: For those of you who like to hear a friendly voice at the other end of the phone to assure you that everything has been handled properly, you have the option to speak with our Donor Resource Center. They are a great bunch of WorldVenture staff at our headquarters in Colorado and will make sure that your giving is done with ease. Simply dial 1.800.487.4224 to phone a friend!

With any of these options, we would love to hear that you have begun giving! It will give us a great chance to catch up with you and help us keep our records straight.

For more information or to let us know you have joined our Winter Coffee Challenge, contact us via email at be.heersink@worldventure.net.  If you would like to talk to us or have questions regarding giving, please let us know through email.  We would love to call you!
