March GLADNESS

In the spirit of all the “madness” that goes on toward the end of March, we have our own bit of madness, but with a twist - and something to be GLAD about. Join us in meeting our goal of raising the needed funds for our container of instruments scheduled to depart in early April - The Rwanda Band Box Project.
This is a fast track fund raiser. We need to raise the necessary funds for getting the container shipped off. You can be a part of putting an instrument into the hands of a child in post-genocide Rwanda, and add the music of GLADNESS in the Land of a Thousand Hills. (see Ps. 65:12!)
Are you ready to feel good about being glad? Let's do it! Down to our last weeks!
(we probably could have made the cut-off April 1, but it just seemed foolish)...
so between now and March 31
Give a donation toward the shipping of the Rwanda Band Box
Forward this email on or share it on facebook - this can spread like wildfire (we need it to)
Pray for us and about all aspects of this fund raiser
Donate an instrument (it's not too late) or funds toward final purchases
Consider becoming a sustaining financial supporter of the Gaskill's on-going work in Rwanda

Recent GLAD givings:
Over 100 instruments donated so far
Complete set of old band uniforms donated from Randleman H.S. in NC (colors match well with Rwanda’s national colors and even has an ‘R’ on lapel. Cool huh?!)
Set of 4 Ludwig timpani donated from Northside Baptist in St. Pete. FL
Wesleayn Christian (NC), and Houghton College (NY) recently joining our list of partnering schools
Wow, that’s something to be glad about! We are believing there’s more to come - we need your help. Add to the gladness, join us in the March GLADNESS!
Questions? Ideas? Need to know where to send tax deductible donations? Or a *drop-off location for an **instrument?
- send us an email directly - gaskillfamily5@gmail.com
- or call (336-847-7698)
- or use our communication form on our 'Let's Connect' page
*(drop off) - people in the St. Pete. FL area have a little longer (April 7), since our trailer will be down there till then.
**(instrument) - Please note - we are in need of quality instruments in good working order. If you have a good instrument but it’s in need of repair, please contact us as soon as possible to see about the possibility of scheduling a repair. In this situation, we also ask for a consideration of donating funds toward the repair since instrument repairs can be quite expensive.
Imagine wide eyes, giggles, enthusiasm, and wonderment… You can help the Gaskills with Rwanda Rising get instruments and music into the container and shipped over (The Rwanda Band Box Project). You can be a part of shaping the future of Rwanda. We pray that you will join with us in this exciting adventure. “For you make me GLAD by your deeds O Lord; I sing for joy at the works of your hands.” (Ps. 92:4)
Gonna end March with GLADNESS!
