Thank you for remembering othThank you for remembering oth

As we have entered 2008 there is
always a bit of uncertainty at to how
things will go. I would be less than can-
did if I told you that the financial end of
this ministry were not a concern. I must
be reminded that He is the faithful One
who never fails.
In addition to the regular Operating
Budget of $53,000 we are also trying to
fund construction of Wagner Hall, our
badly needed new Mens Residence.
Total cost is $3.2 million. We are on the
very front end of a $125,000 Matching
Grant.
Some well-meaning folks will say
that, considering the times, these can-
not be done; too much money. But, I
am reminded that these are the Lords
times and He is our Provisioner; He will
not fail. I need to be more faithful inpraying and trusting as well as in work-
ing to see this wonderful building fin-
ished. The need for it is beyond ques-
tion.
Dont forget to make plans on at-
tending our Annual Banquet. This year,
and for the foreseeable future, we are
meeting at the Youth Annex of Parkway
Christian Center. This is always such a
wonderful time of fellowship and testi-
mony. Again, this year, you must have aticket to gain admittance. All you need
to do is call the Mission Office476-
0082and ask to have a ticket sent to
you, or picked up by you. No ticketNo
admittance.
Thanks for your loving support and
prayers for us and this precious and
wonderful work. Together, we can
cause many to stand in awe over the
way He cares for so many through us.
