Subject: Dearest in the Lord,
Dearest in the Lord,
My greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.I am Mrs Christiana Buttler from South Africa.
I am married to Archdeacon. Johnson Buttler who untill his death served as an archdeacon in the St.Micheal's archdeaconry in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2003.
We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US $7.5.Million dollars (seven million five hundred thousand) in one of the famous banks here in Abidjan capital of Cote d'Ivoire.
Presently,my Doctor confirmed to me that I have serious sickness which is cancer problem. But the one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein because the doctors have comfirmed clinically that i will die within few months.
I want this fund to be used in advancement of our Lord's kingdom, such as improving the living condition of the orphans, helping the widows,propagation of our Lord's word and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that“Blessed is the hand that giveth”.
I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money, and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my husband’s efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation whereby this money will be used in an unGodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that“the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace”.
I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health condition, the stroke paralysed part of my body and i amfinding it difficult to discuss,with God all things are possible.
I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whosoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.
Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Christiana Buttler.
