This Is A Bummer…

 

of a post to have to write…I’ve been putting it off for a few weeks now, but I know that in the past if we have humbled ourselves and shared our needs God, through you, has provided.

So, here is the plain truth…

This past month we have fallen $650 short of our budget. {For those of you who don’t know, we live strictly off of donations made to our ministry. We have NO other income.} We were warned when we came that we could expect support to fall after a year or so (out of sight- out of mind). It just so happens that it coincides with the birth of our 6th child, travelling to Australia, where the cost of living is MUCH higher than PNG (and even the US for that matter), and a substantial drop in the US dollar to PNG kina exchange rate.

Specifically, we need you to pray for new monthly donors to our ministry and one time gifts to cover our time in Australia.

We are currently assessing our spending to see if we can cut down even more…but honestly, we pay rent, buy food, and help out our neighbors whenever we can…one thing we can and will cut back on is our internet time.

If you would like to join our team financially you can sign up through the link in the sidebar. All donations are tax deductible for you.

We thank you for reading and for your prayers…

I love you guys! I wish we could help out financially....and we will pray that God will provide and take care of you. Having been in a similar situation for 5 months now (Jason being under or unemployed) I have seen Him care for us, His children, through the gifts of others. Hallelujah, He cares for you!!!!!!

Thank you for letting us all know of your need. I feel confident without speaking with Gene that we can add an extra $100. this month to our usual monthly pledge. Hopefully that will help with your temporary move and encourage others to give. Even if ten couples donate a meal out that would give you $200. towards your Australia.
