Our SupportAs we travel to Italy to serve the Lord as church planting missionaries, we are only a small part of a large team. We need supporters to pray for us, give financially, and encourage us. Here are some ways that you can have a part in our ministry. And if you are already a part of our team - THANK YOU! The ministry that the Lord does through us will add up to your "account". "Not that I seek for the gift ; but I seek for the fruit that increaseth to your account." - Phil 4:17
Updated Support Needs Our goal is to have, on average, 100 people praying for us each day. We are currently only at about 82% prayer support. If you would like to JOIN our prayer team, please let us know.
WE NEED PRAYER SUPPORTERS!!
---------------------------------------------------- As we begin to prepare for our time of home ministry next summer, we are now at 81.1% of full support (full support now means full salary and our current housing costs in Domodossola - considerably less than housing in Milan). While it would be nice to be fully supported, we can still comfortably get by on less than full support. However, this leaves us no "cushion" for renewed weakening of the dollar or supporters who must discontinue our support. The good news is, that because of numerous one time gifts and some support increases, we are now slightly above where we need to be to "break even" for the rest of this term (ending October 2010). Praise the Lord! Part of that support, is from one time gifts that we have pro-rated over the rest of this term. We will need to replace that "advance" support on our next time of home ministry, as well as budgeting for some expected increases in our support that we will face as we enter our next term. We will have specifics as our time of home ministry approaches. But for the moment, we are actually "OK" on support. One BIG prayer request in this area. Changes that may result from proposed changes in the American health care system could result in a significant increase in our support. We can not know for sure until a bill is actually passed, but do keep this matter in prayer as it could have a major impact on us and all other CrossWorld missionaries. If you would like our current support figures or would like a breakdown of what is included in our support amounts, please contact us and we will be happy to send that information to you. So, how can you help? We're glad you asked! If you would like to help with our financial support, it is possible to do so in three ways:
