It's not my favourite thing to post about our financial needs, but this past week Marcel and I were discussing this little reality--we start language studies in January! That's in 4 months! *Gulp!*
That's four months to get everything in order for visas, passports, immunizations, etc., AND raise our last 30% of our monthly funds.
To give you an idea, and also to help us remember how many people have already loved us and supported us, let's put this into some concrete numbers. Since last November, we raised over $35,000 in one-time funds for our MAF ministry (which are already going to good use with all the visa work we have to do!). But even bigger and more shocking than that is the fact that we currently have over 70 supporters who support us at approximately $5000/month! WOAH!!! That just makes my heart leap for joy and praise God!
But we still have approx. $2200/month that we need to raise for our MAF work ... in just under 4 months.
We're looking for about 40 more supporters, in four months. We hope to do this via presentations (see the side bar for our upcoming presentations), one-on-one meetings, our YUMMY DESSERT AUCTION, and LOTS, AND LOTS, AND LOTS of prayer!
Thank you to everyone who prayed through August with us, continues to pray for us, and those who continue to advocate on our behalf as we look for more opportunities. We are so very thankful!
And stay tuned ... our Sept/Oct newsletter is coming out soon!
