So we have arrived in Canada and are getting to work on the various tasks we need to accomplish before we drive back to Mexico! As most of you know, one of the key things we’re planning to do is replace our van. For more information on why we need to do this at this time, read The Van Project<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"CottrillBecause of these particular circumstances, we received permission from our mission agency to do a personal project for the van (I believe this is the only personal project we’ve done during our almost 9 years in Mexico). As of the last report, we now have 10% of the total<\/b> that we’re raising for the van and related expenses.<\/p>\n

If you would like to give to this project, it is open until the end of the month. However, because we are planning to buy<\/i> the van this month, it would be very helpful for us to know what funds we have available.<\/p>\n

So if you are planning to give, it would be great if you could let us know<\/a>, so that we can make our purchase based on what is actually in the project fund.<\/p>\n

To give in Canadian dollars, you can donate toward the Cottrill Van Project<\/b>, project #082708V<\/b>. The project will be open until the end of August. Visit our Canadian donations page here.<\/a><\/p>\n

To give in US dollars, please donate to our general fund and not<\/i> to the project. In other words, you can just make a special gift as you normally would. For information on how to give in $US, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks so much to those who have given to this project!<\/b> And thanks for those who have asked for an update and shown interest. As you know, our van has been an important tool in our ministry. Please pray with us that we can find a reliable vehicle which can be used in the work in central Mexico. God knows what we need, and He can provide!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
