Kathy and I just had a Skype conversation with the Global Ministries Director, and CFO at our mission. Great guys to work with.
Trying to keep track of where we are, in regard to our fund-raising has given me greater sympathy for economists. It's not quite looking into a crystal-ball, but trying to balance verbal assurances of, "We are going to be part of your support team. . . ." with hard numbers that come from monthly reports, and then comparing that with estimates of needs, which are just that, estimates, involves a measure of art as well science. I say that, because I need to leave some room to be wrong. That being said, we praise the Lord, that through the kindness and sacrifice of many it appears that we have passed the 70% mark for funding for 2016.
As always, when we look at these reports we are humbled. We see names and numbers and are aware of some of the burdens being carried by those represented there, and we feel unworthy of such support. Thank you.
We continue to work the lists.
Lift-off is just a few days away.
