Yes I am sorry its been awhile since I last updated... and being "busy" is a terrible excuse!
Over the past few months I have been in contact with a few of my future team mates and team leaders (The Hamptons)! If you want to view any of their blogs just look in my side bar, the links should be there! Isn't it just amazing how such different people from such different walks of life can come together as one under the name of our Lord! To me that is just exciting!
The two pressing needs that I have presently are as follows;
PRAYER! Prayer support is such a huge thing that I think we often take it for granted or underestimate its importance altogether. AIM has given me the goal of gathering at least 50 partners in prayer, people who are committed to remembering and supporting me in prayer for my time over seas. I have already had lots of people let me know they are committed to praying for me... but I am not quite at 50 yet. It is so encouraging to hear from people who are willing to commit to pray regularly for me.
I am also short on my financial support. AIM requests that I have 85% of my monthly support pledged or gathered by the end of February. Right now their records show just over 50%. If you have already considered supporting me I ask that you try to send it in to AIM as soon as possible, that would be great!
I have also had a few requests for the financial breakdown of where I get the figure of $1,800/month - so here it is!
Living allowance, statutory payroll benefits, and group health $1,070
Ministry expenses (team funds, other) $ 237
Travel back to Canada/return to Africa/other travel as needed $ 91
Home office / field/TIMO / International Office support services $ 415
----------
Total $1,813
