We have recently been reminded again of the generosity of many of God's people, who have volunteered their time and efforts to UCG's Good Works program. The initial Good Works projects posted on the UCG Web site have in short order already been fully funded (the Philippines) or nearly fully funded (the Ghana project), due to the volunteer efforts of many brethren in a number of congregations.

Recently, we have added a new posting regarding a project to help in Kenya and East Africa. A number of congregations have let us know that their fund-raising projects are currently underway, and should bear fruit soon.

For fear of failing to mention everyone, I will not name individually the congregations I am aware of where special fund-raisers have occurred, but I do say thanks to everyone who has contributed already, and to those who are still involved in getting additional fund-raisers organized. More importantly, those brethren who have been and will be assisted by these efforts are quite appreciative, and it is my privilege to give voice to their thanks.
