In our last newsletter<\/a>, we mentioned that we needed about 57 more financial partners before we could leave for Mexico (some of the later newsletters said 54).  In a month’s time, that number has dropped by 13, to 44<\/b> – praise the Lord!<\/i><\/p>\n

As many of you know, we’re preparing to move to Mexico.  Before we leave, we need 100% of our monthly “financial support” pledged, so that we can cover things like rent, insurance and ministry expenses in Mexico.  Individuals, families, churches and other groups have been pledging monthly, bimonthly, yearly, etc, amounts toward this 100%.  These pledges help pay the bills now and bring us one step closer to our move.<\/p>\n

So why do we say we need 44 more partners?<\/b>  Well, this number is based on a calculation that takes into consideration things like the current exchange rate, the number of financial partners we have now, and the average amount of a pledge.<\/p>\n

Please pray with us that the Lord would bring more people to be a part of this ministry.  If that number keeps dropping at this rate, we’ll be in Mexico in no time!  And that will be cause for more praise. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
