Our total continues to rise steadily, thanks to the Lord. This support not only brings us closer to our move to Mexico, it also allows us to continue ministry here in the mean time &#8211; building partnerships and creating vision about what God is doing in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>So, of course you&#8217;re wondering, when are you going to be at 70%? If you&#8217;re wondering about what it would take, I&#8217;ll tell you. Of course, things vary a bit with exchange rates and so forth, but it will take about 8 more donations to reach 70%. For example, <strong>a pledge of $25\/month, 2 pledges of $50\/month, 3 pledges at $75 per month and 2 pledges at $100\/month<\/strong> would probably get us up over the 70% mark.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s Canadian funds, of course.  In $US, 5 or 6 pledges of $75\/month would do the trick.<\/p>\n<p>I just wanted to stop by to share the good news with those of you who have been praying, and to thank so many of you who are giving to the ministry! God is listening, and things are progressing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re praising the Lord today to see our monthly support go up over 60%!
