Today my reason for blogging is simply to share with you
some of our financial needs. I know, I know, I don’t like to bring it up (especially
if it is a personal need) but it is a big part of what I do- being a voice
between this side of the world and yours.
I am often overwhelmed at the generosity of our donors and
partners. People often tell me it is impossible to raise money the way we do, giving
100% to the work in India and sending out as little news as we do. (While I’m
here, let me mention that we are sending out no more than 2 mailings a year to
reduce those costs. THIS is the BEST place to hear the latest- or LIKE our Facebook
page for almost daily updates!)

We have some financial needs in the ministry and for our
family. The easiest way to share them is to just say it, so here they are._____________________________________________
We have been working on the construction of our ministry
campus for several years now. We are ready to put in a septic system and the proposed
costs exceed what has already been donated for this purpose. This is the right
season to build, but we don’t have the finances we need.
The need is $25,000
Our directors, A & R, are building a home for their family. The bottom
floor will solely be used for hosting teams, visitors, and volunteers. The rest
will be used for their family of 5. The entire ministry is housed in owned buildings and it is their turn.
The need is $120,000
Tree plantation on the campus.
The need is $2500
Tractor Equipment
The need is:
- Cultivator: $600
- Plough $800
- Seeder $1200
- Leveling blade $350
- Tiller $1500
We have 25 children who are still
unsponsored. This means that undesignated giving that could be used towards
future needs goes into the daily running of the home. If all the children were
sponsored, this area of the ministry would be self-supportive through that support.
The need is $50 a month for each child
I hope you will
consider how you can help, pray about it (but not for too long!) and share this
with others. Are you part of a small group? Does your church support Crosspoint
of India? How about your upcoming VBS offering? Let’s get creative and see what
we can do!
Support can be sent designated for these projects or
undesignated to be used where it is needed the most to:
