a little update

Finally getting to a little update!

We have received about $7000 now for the container and start up costs! PTL!

I updated our needs list, here, with some of the donated items already.

We have started getting monthly and annual partners! I am still thinking about how exactly I will display those, so for now am waiting. Just know they are coming in! It is a very humbling experience to get a letter of support from someone for whom you know it will be a monthly sacrifice. Or to receive a commitment from someone you weren't even sure you should include on your mailing list!

We are hoping to get a newletter out in November before we go to MTI for training.

Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.

Oh yes-a question answered: No, you do not need to wait until you are able to send the money with your response form. We would appreciate the form back so we can know what to plan for.

Prayer Request/Praise: Just this week we sent out letters to area churches to request they consider partnering with us. We have been invited to speak at one of the church's next mission board meetings (actually even before the letter went out!)! A few of the churches whose members had personally already gotten support letters already had us on their agendas for the next meeting! And one churched I spoke to in the afternoon, approved a "container" gift to us that same night! YOU GO GOD!! Please pray for some of these churches to partner monthly with us.
