Eden Meeting 09th Aug 2009

Present – JP, SY, Joyce, HF, Minn , YL, BY, KH
Minutes by JP.

1. Prayer

Father’s grace upon Esg to do His will for the town, His wonderful provision of working as ONE people towards blessing the community. May we in unity and faith walk obediently in doing His bidding. Thankful for the opportunities and openings for the ‘feeding’ programme and growing favour of the Lord amongst the peoples, may we be found faithful. Prayed for grace and covering for JP and Eden’s team in their work.


2. Helping Hands

Currently there are 32 families receiving equivalent of RM 100/month on food and provisions, delivered to them by JP and youth Ablaze. The focus of this project is for the poor and those single parents in need. It started with a couple of families which has since grown. This requires more administration and organisation.


3. Helping Hands extension (1Way as project name?)

A couple of projects that would extend this work further are in the pipeline. To facilitate this growing work (effectiveness, 1kluang work) JP asked Eden efsg to partner in this work. The hope is that this will free him to concentrate on delivering the service on the ground. Eden efsg will take responsibility and to cover the work; more rigorous governance and accountability with the aim of extending this to the community from 2011 onward.


This pilot project will focus on giving 200 kids for 2010 are as follows:

a. Uniform – Someone has given RM 10 K, each to receive a pack valued at RM 120/kid.

b. Kids to school – Provide RM 120/kid to assist kids on miscellaneous cost (stationeries, books, fees, etc)

c. Christmas party – Gather all recipients and families for a party where the above will be officially handed over; YB to be invited to partner at the function?
