I hope this letter finds you all
well today, after a Labor Day weekend.
I am grateful to have heard from a number of you last month in answer
to
my last letter. So for now I will continue on as usual. I
have
interviewed a new drummer and he will begin tryouts for the band this
week. So, pray that the Lord's will around this guy would
manifest.
We have had one of our grant inquiries answered and they have sent us
an
application. There is an awful lot of work involved in creating
a grant
application. Not only do you have to fill out their
questionnaire but,
you have to create imaginary budgets saying exactly what you will do
with
the money if they give it to you. Also, you end up writing 1 to
2 page
essays in answering many of their questions. I suppose it's all
understandable. Please pray for me as I write these reports that
God's
Spirit would rest on me, giving me wisdom and that all who read it
would
have favor on Metropolis and will give generously.
Actually, I sent out about 5 inquiry letters to 5 different grant
organizations. We heard from 2 so far, the one I just told you
about and
another that says we like you but, our money is tied up for the next
few
years.
I do not believe in begging for money but I do believe in letting our
needs be known throughout the body. We are still in need of any
and all
financial support any of you feel lead to do. Our new web page
at
injesus.com, will soon feature online giving and that is exciting.
Please remember that you can reach out in evangelism just by giving a
little money to any missions oriented Organization you feel lead to.
Please take a look on the proposal page link below, these are items
listed on the budget I have proposed for over a 3-year period.
Pray over
this and see if you feel compelled to help, because this budget
proposal
if approved will not cover every need we have.
