The Hummel Mission Letter

Dear Friends of Keith, Ellen, Alex, Gerry and Leah Hummel,

You may be aware the Hummel Family has been affirmed to move ahead with an overseas mission assignment through Eastern Mennonite Missions (EMM). Keith will be serving as an advisor and mentor to an inexperienced Tanzanian CEO at Shirati Hospital in Tanzania, East Africa. Ellen, Alex, Gerry and Leah will be performing various roles to help improve conditions in Shirati.

We have formed as a missionary support team (MST) around the Hummels in this assignment, to help provide encouragement, prayer and financial support for them, and to keep you – family, friends, and other partners – informed of their ongoing work and ministry. The MST will provide a newsletter (The Hummel Mission Letter) to keep you informed about what is happening with the Hummels, and provide details that will help you pray effectively and specifically on their behalf. You can also check this website for more current information; alternatively they can be reached via email at ellen@hummelsinafrica.org.

Missionaries need more than just financial support! We are asking you to pray and discern how you can be involved in the Hummel mission. The first way you can help is by providing a spiritual covering through prayer. We also encourage you to think of ways to show them your support emotionally. You can find creative ideas for supporting missionaries online at www.emm.org/get-involved.

Eastern Mennonite Missions projects an annual budget of $64,644.00 per year, or $5,387.00 per month, for their three-year assignment. We can easily meet the goal if 125 people pledge just $42 per month for their three-year term. Would you consider either a monthly gift or a special gift to help with financially supporting them? Read their story and consider becoming part of their Eastern Mennonite Mission (EMM) to Tanzania. Then Click the Donate Now Button or complete, detach, and return the support form in the newsletter, noting ways you'd like to be involved. A response by June 30th would be greatly appreciated, but contributions will gladly be accepted any time.

Thank you for your interest in supporting this mission to transform communities in Tanzania!

Blessings,
Floyd Weber,
Mission Support Team Chair
