VMMissions Announces Stephen R. Leaman Memorial Endowment for Missions
The proceeds of the Stephen R. Leaman Memorial Endowment for Missions will benefit three areas of ministry: (1) mission personnel engaged in the education of children through Christian schools, community centers, and local churches; (2) education scholarships to the children of mission workers serving in cross-cultural assignments; (3) the costs of mission administration. To finalize the endowment, VMMissions is seeking a total of $25,000, of which $20,435 has already been committed. Would you be willing to help us reach our goal?
If you would like to help, please send a check made payable to VMMissions, with “Leaman Endowment” on the memo line and return it to the VMMissions office, or donate online by clicking the button below.
As a member of the VMMissions staff and Lindale Mennonite Church, I miss Steve’s kindness, heart for service, and his balance of careful leadership and spirited mischief. While it continues to be difficult to grapple with his loss, I find comfort in the words Steve shared with our staff shortly before he passed: “Through God’s love, mercy, and forgiveness, I now have eternal hope. In these times, accept Jesus!” I invite you to help us share the eternal hope of Jesus with others by contributing to this endowment.
Sincerely,
Abe Hartzler
Associate Director of Advancement
