Big Jim's 60th Birthday Roast

Broke down in Zambia on way to airport
Greetings Saints! Wanted to invite you to join us on Saturday March 12th from 3 to 5 PM at Bible Fellowship Church in Newark to celebrate my  "Big Jim 60th Birthday Roast" and join in the fun as I get roasted.

There will be cake and coffee after  and maybe even some of my famous Habanero Brownies for all to enjoy.

No need to bring presents; but if you would like to bring something we are collecting sewing needles, thread, old calendars, cross stitch needles, boys dress ties and HP 60 or 60xl ink for our Village of Hope in Zambia for Karen and I to carry in when we prayerfully go there in April to minister to the children. Can also use nice dress cloth for the girls there, as Karen will be helping them make dresses for a special wedding they are going to in May.

Or if you'd like you could donate a love gift to one of the following as we celebrate:
  • All Kids Can Learn International to help support our precious children at the Village of Hope in Zambia; www.akcli.org (Karen and I looking to go back in April)
  • Kay's Kamp-Delaware's Oncology Camp for kids as they do a special Cruise Around the World Kamp this summer; www.kayskamp.org (their "self-appointed" International Representative)
  • Summer Bible Camp, Delhi Bible Institute Partnership, http://www.dbip.org/  (looking to forward to our first trip together there in June)
  • Youth Camp Ministry 2011in Papua New Guinea with the Smiths/ABWE April 25-30th expecting 300 camper http://www.wsmithpng.abwe.org/youth-camp-ministry-2011 (2012?)
Now if you want to partake in the "Roasting" me, there is a cost!


You can either:
  •  Eat a teaspoon of Dia Lampkins world famous Liberian Hot Sauce (HOT!!!)
  • Donate something in the offering plate which will then be given to help support our teens going to Bulgaria this summer. (I would recommend giving towards the teens. As someone who regularly does very hot peppers, these are not ones I would knowingly eat a teaspoon of.)
All for now. We plan to start promptly at 3. Hope to see you on the 12th.

One final warning! I will be bringing my "Man Hunting" spear that a Pastor friend from Papua New Guinea gave me and will be behind you with it as you share and am not afraid to use it!

Have a great day with Jesus all as you continue to shine for Him.

We can't wait to see what God does next!
Until Every Child Knows,
Big Jim and Karen
