Report as of January 01, 2023
- As of December 01, 2022, all twenty documents were completed by all three parties, and had been forwarded to the Support Agreement Holder (SAH), which is an arm of Canadian Lutheran World Relief. (CLWR)
- Not all documents have been scrutinized as of yet by the SAH. As they are checking these documents some errors were found which required them to be updated. We have worked with the co-sponsors to correct them as the correct information is provided.
- We were informed that the applicants will need to send us individual current pictures of each person. Fortunately, they are allowed to take these pictures with a phone which should make it a bit simpler.
- Financially, we have already received over $30,000 in donations toward this mission. The remaining shortfall has been promised by a generous supporter as an Interest-free loan over three years. We expect to repay this amount through fundraising events and are asking you to consider financial support for this mission throughout the year.
- We are planning our first fundraiser, a pie auction, for Sunday, February 12, 2023 toward the repayment of the loan.
- All donations from our members should be over and above their regular support for the operation of our church. Please indicate clearly that your donation is to go toward the: Refugee Sponsorship Fund. More information about donations are found here.
