Thanksgiving

What a blessed time we had on Thursday - thanks to 18 community volunteers who made the set-up, serving and clean-up a snap. We were able to serve about 160 meals ... and it was a great one what with all of the turkey, ham, potatoes, cranberry sauce, veggies and pie, pie and more pie! All of us were thankful to our Father of mercy who blessed us over and over again.

Thanks too to First Christian Church who so graciously allowed us to use their large community room and first class kitchen. Few things are done independently and that is ever more true for the Mission.

Whew!

I'm back after an interesting summer. As you can well imagine, the long months of summer can play havoc with one's Christian life! Working in a wonderful ministry that is fully dependent upon the graciousness of a whole host of folks that care to part with money can be a real spirit-stretcher; or revealer of how little one really believes what one preaches. Ouch.

I am so thankful that we emerged from the normally fiscally slow income months not having to draw upon any emergency money but rejoiced in the daily provision of our God of grace and goodness to us.

Our budget is $56,000 per month in 2008. I am staggered over the gracious provision of our Father making it possible on an average gift of just less than $25.00 each month. I'm thankful for so many generous friends.

The busy months of October, November and December are now upon us. Thank you for your prayerful concern for us to remain faithful, innovative and diligent in the daily work to which we have been called. Our certainty in in Him and not in the whim of the moment.

God's rich blessings upon you.
