Progress Toward Our Goal

We began furlough May 23, 2007 with a significant support deficit and a worrisome personal debt. So far we have made progress on both accounts. Our debt has been reduced due to a generous gift from a family member. We still have one more hurdle in that direction and need to raise the funds to eliminate this problem. The benefit will be a reduction in our operating budget making our monthly support goal more attainable.

Support has also increased. So far three supporting churches have increased their commitment by a total of $225. Several other supporters are considering similar action while some of our new contacts are weighing adding us to their list of supported ministries.

We need to raise an additional $600 per month to be fully supported. GFA has a sensible requirement of 100% for returning missionaries. This makes a lot of sense when you consider the volatility of our economy here and abroad. Pray with us that this goal will be reached soon so that we will be able to actively plan our return to PR.
