15%

This month we are giving time and efforts to creating a base of support for the ministry...both prayer and financial. The call that God put on us was to "partner with Him in a full-time endeavor to set hearts free". So, that can only happen through a community of friends/allies who will gather around us with encouragement and support. (I prefer the term "ministry allies" over "partners". It reminds me that we are doing battle daily for the hearts of people. We are not able to fight alone.)


I must confess that it is really stretching me to be this dependent. My American/male spirit wants to come through and be independent. I want to provide for my family. Yet, I realize that everything comes from God and that it is actually biblical for those "called out" to be dependent on others to meet needs (easy to write that...hard to live). So, needless to say, this is really growing my faith and dependency.

So, as of today, we have 15% of our monthly support raised. I am quite excited. We are early in the process, so I am pleased that we already have friends gathering around us. Our goal is to reach 100% support within the next month or two so that we can focus all energies and time toward Encounter. We are already seeing the pressing need to work with couples and bring the message of restoration to hearts. Prayerfully, we will continue trusting God as we move forward.
