Big Changes for the Munros and We NEED Your Help...

As many of you know, our dear friend, Ericlee Gilmore, is battling stage four cancer. Ericlee and his wife have been the U.S. directors of Christian Friendship Ministries for the last five years. Tanner has served on the board of CFM for the last two years.

In an effort to give Ericlee more time with his family and time to heal, Tanner has been appointed the new U.S. Director. 

Ericlee and Dorina are taking a one-year sabbatical at this time. They have laid the important groundwork and built up a large network of supporters to help this ministry flourish. It is amazing to see what it has become since Ericlee's grandparents became missionaries there in the 1940s. 

Tanner will now be responsible to carry on what the Gilmores have so graciously grown. I will, of course, help him out as much as I can. We have an amazing board of brilliant people, who will be helping in great ways, too.

Our goal for this year is to continue the growth of the ministry, both spiritually and in partnership. We desire to make the Gilmores proud and carry on their amazing efforts.

Tanner and I will be traveling to Haiti this November to meet with the Haitian pastors and leaders as well as to discuss new curriculum for the schools. We will be traveling over Thanksgiving break for approximately eight days. Some of the other board members will most likely join us.

After this initial trip, we will be able to strategically plan the rest of the year. We hope to return again to Haiti in the summer of 2015 with our children for a longer amount of time, possibly 4-6 weeks. 
 This will allow us to host teams from the states and spend more time understanding the Haitian culture.  

This is an emotionally hard time for us as we pray and hope for our friend's healing. We are so humbled to be running this ministry for this year.

Please keeps us in your prayers and if you can help support us financially, please let us know.

We need to raise roughly $30,000 for the year. 

Some of this money will be used for our plane tickets for both trips, traveling expenses and other necessary items. Most will be used to help support some upcoming projects we see needs for, such as, curriculum for the schools, Bibles and Hymnals for the churches and work that needs to be completed on the orphanage.  

If you can support us financially (either monthly or a one-time gift), please write checks to Christian Friendship Ministries. You can mail them to us at our address or CFM's:
