"...And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them." Hebrews 11:13-16

HELP!
I have an urgent request. Most of you know that I went to Sri Lanka for my internship a couple of years ago. I heard from my friends who run the school that I taught at and they are having some financial difficulty right now. Matt and Rebecca have not had any income since June 2006 (for Rebecca) and Feb 2006 (for Matt). They've been getting by on a small income from Canada but their rent needs to be paid at the end of this month for the year. No that's not a mistake, in Sri Lanka you pay rent a year in advance. They need $3600 USD by the end of the month. I am helping them to raise the money and I'm asking you to help. I know that it seems like a very significant amount of money to raise and maybe you can only give $10 but every dollar counts. I've raised over a thousand CAD already:)

If you are interested in helping you can send money via credit card on their website saef.net (Schools for Asia Educational Foundation) or you can send a cheque or money order to the address below. IMPORTANT - please indicate the money as "Baker's salary" on the cheque/money order or when using your credit card. Thank you.
