Stacey- Uganda bound!

MONTH OF MAY INCENTIVE!!!!

Mother's Day Gift of Generosity:

Do you have a Mom, wife or grandmother who has it all?

This Mother's Day, instead of flowers, give the unique gift of a donation to the Preston Trail Uganda Team. Give the gift of generosity. The gift that keeps on giving.

Pick out a gift and we will attach a card (below) to go with your gift. Or, if you like, we can personalize your card as well. Just let us know what you want to say.




Hi Friends and Family,

I am thrilled to say that I have the privilege of returning to Eastern Uganda for a second time.  Shawn just returned from a similar trip in March, and we are excited and honored for our family to be a part of this mission once again.  For those of you who do not know, our past two trips have focused upon several ministries:  visiting children at a remand center, helping with a ministry that helps severely malnourished children, and the bulk of our time has been leading a Biblical conference as well as health and hygiene training.

While in Uganda in February-March, Shawn picked up some beautiful jewelry along the way.  So, we are selling this jewelry in an effort to raise money for this trip in July and God willing, will repeat the same efforts in the future.  So, if you are interested in partnering with our team of 5 women and 3 men going in July, I would appreciate prayers and any financial support you feel called to give. 
 
Here is where the jewelry comes in…  As incentive to support our team, I am setting up “gifts” to be given at each level of financial support.
Here is the breakdown…

Giving Level:  $25-$49   Ugandan Paper Bead Necklace 
We have all shapes and sizes.  Lengths ranging from 50”-68”.  If you have a specific color I am sure we can make that happen. We have some really unique ones as well with larger beads mixed in.  Over 100 to choose from. 
First come, first choose…  :)



Giving Level:  $50-$100  Two Paper Bead necklaces (of your choosing), or a beaded ring (only 1 left-dark blue color)



Giving Level:  $101-$200  Choose from paper bead bracelets (only 5 left) or a beaded ring (one left) + two necklaces, or a paper bead bracelet +two paper bead necklaces





Giving Level :  Over $200  Ugandan hand embossed wallet , ladies wooden bracelet (light brown and multi-color bracelet on left...sorry other two are gone), or any variation of above + I am going to call this bracket the shoot for the moon bracket…just for fun…






We thought this was a fun way to get people behind our team’s mission, but in all seriousness we appreciate ever dollar given toward helping and equipping in Uganda.  We know that if you give you are not giving to receive a bead necklace, or some trinket  but because God placed it on your heart to give.  To those of you who have supported us so faithfully in the past year we say thank you and we couldn’t have met God’s calling without you. 

And, if you don’t want the incentive and still want to give, that’s ok too. :) But, if you do want something, let me know what you would like. 

Send any donations to Stacey Thomas 5225 China Berry Dr. McKinney, TX 75070

All checks need to be made payable to Preston Trail Community Church.  This is a tax deductible donation.  

You may also send cash, or make checks payable to me, but these will not be tax deductible.

Thank you as always…
Love & blessings,
Stacey Thomas
