You Can Help

2 Corinthians 8:14-15 At this present time your abundance being a supply for their need, so that their abundance also may becomea supply for your need, that there may be equality;  as it is written, “He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little had no lack.” (NASB)

We are so blessed to have the resources we do in our nation. Most of our necessities would considered luxuries in other countries.

If you have an old pair of glasses (daily or reading), they may be useful for people in the Congo who do not otherwise have access to eyeglasses. The Paul Carson Partnership evaluates glasses to be taken to the Congo when medical teams go to the area. Wendy Scott (who attends First Evangelical Free Church of Maine) is the local contact person for the collection of these glasses. There will be a collection box in the lobby at our church for the next month. The lasses that you have worn can now be worn by a Congolese man or woman who will be able to better see the world around them.

If you don't wear glasses and would like to help, Everything's a Dollar near the Maine Mall usually has cute reading glasses, as does Marden's.
