As of Friday April 8th we are officially a state registered Corporation! Our company name is legally Imani Tumaini Upendo, which means Faith Hope Love in Swahili. But you will hear me call it simply Imani:)
We have our domain name for our website, so in a couple of weeks you will be able to check it out! We now have our own emails (rachel@imani-africa.com), and PRAISE GOD! We have a checking and savings account set up!!! WOOOO HOOO!!! It is AMAZING! 2 weeks ago this was just a thought, and the Lord has just abundantly blessed it!!
The Scripture Col 2:2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ
this scripture explains our mission better than we could!!
Jenny and I have been meeting every Monday and Wednesday in the mornings before work to study the Word and pray together. We began with Colossians. The Lord gave us this scripture, and we are so thankful for Him!
In the coming months we will be looking for sponsors, not just sales, we will need monthly donors, as well as just random ones. We have so many plans for this ministry! I cannot wait to get started!
Please be in prayer over us filing our 501(c)3. We have decided to tackle it by ourselves! We will be filing within the next two weeks. We have a little more money we have to raise in order to do it, the total cost is $400, and we have half of that right now.
We have been spending our own money as well as had a couple of donations already. We aren't worried tho! The Lord will provide, His hand is obviously in this!
Not to take away focus of the mission trip I am going on, because I am still raising funds for that as well, which is going wonderfully! The Lord is blessing me so much! This trip is important for Imani as well. We will be gathering things while we are there for our Online Boutique.
The Lord has also put in place different people who are going to Ethiopia and Uganda this summer and are willing to bring items back for us!! God is so good!
Thank you all for praying for myself, the team, and my family! Please continue to do so! Please add Imani to your prayers as well, prayer is soo powerful! We want to cover Imani in prayer, as well as the ministries Imani will help, the Segner family (if you would like to meet them go to thesegners.blogspot.com), REAL 4 Christ ministries, and the people they will touch and help!
