Hope Honey : A Christmas Gift that keeps on Giving

Christmas is coming and Michael has the perfect present for you to give your friends and family ... you could even think about giving your office buddies a jar and a pamphlet on AAP!

Hope Honey is locally produced honey and 100% of money from sales goes to AAP partner Bridge of Hope to give a helping hand to people in poverty.

So far money has gone towards BOH printing costs and labels, plus $200 towards loans and since mid-year all money(not just profit after expenses) goes toward micro enterprise development.

Hope Honey sells for $4.00 per jar which is then sent in total (ie. $4.00) to Bridge of Hope:

www.bridgeofhope.org.au

Michael recently extracted 90kg of honey and bottled it ready for sale.

You can email Michael at: michael@stmattsmanly.org.au

Prayer for Brad

Our Brother in Christ and good friend, Brad, had a terrible accident today ... he fell off a 25m cliff this morning (Thurs, 2 Nov) and had to be air lifted to Royal North Shore Hospital by helicopter.

Praise and Thank God that he is alive!! He has sustained some major injuries - he has broken his leg in 5 places, however, thankfully, nothing else is apparently damaged apart from bruising but he will be in much pain for a while and will be in RNSH for some time with a lengthy period of recovery ahead. Please pray for his full and speedy recovery as he has his own business and is unlikely to be fully functional for a number of months to come. He is in surgery tonight.

Thanks Vanoosh :o)
