      Suriname 
              - The future 
            
            
            
            It is our intention to make this organization financially 
              self-sustaining before our term is completed, to this end we try 
              to teach by example how to generate, manage and control sustainable 
              funding. This is particularly challenging in an economy such as 
              the one that exists in this country, in addition, there is a very 
              poor concept of giving in this culture. 
            In spite of the above challenges the Lord have been 
              gracious to us, the income of the church approx. $ 1000.00 SRD per 
              month and this takes care of the following. 
            1. Assistant Pastor $200.00 
            2. Electricity bill $200.00 
            3. Janitor $200.00 
            4. Water $100.00 
            5. Fuel for church bus $250.00 
            There are so many other little things that always 
              need to be paid, the important thing is that everything is being 
              taken care of in a timely manner, everything we do is by faith and 
              the LORD always comes through for us, for this we are very greateful. 
            7. Looking ahead. 
             We have planned a few activities for the rest of 
              the year including 
            1. A grand Christmas Concert 
            2. Our first annual dinner 
            3. The feeding of two thousand kids [with the help 
              of Rev. V. Hajaree.][December 18 & 19]  
            4. Flea Market 
            We want to say thanks to all the individuals and 
              teams who have visited us in 2007, their presence has added value 
              to the work and has given great encouragement to us. We also want 
              to say thanks to the Board of Missions for their continued support 
              and also to the many Pastors who have called and sent gifts. Mission 
              Suriname continues to be a success largely to the continued sacrificial 
              giving and prayer of the many supporters in the local churches across 
              Trinidad and Tobago, to those supporters we especially say ‘thank 
              you’ for your love to us.
