as we enter November...

We are thankful that:

• We are officially at 73% of monthly pledges.
  ...before the day is over we've learned that we're at 79%!! (added 11/03/08)
  
• In the last two weeks we've added five donors and had opportunities to share with a few more.
• Another church sounds interested in supporting us financially beginning sometime in 2009.
  
• Mom's group from Peoria generously provided practical and helpful items for our trip.
• We have an opportunity to share at a church in Indiana on November 9th.

We are praying for:

• About 18* more committed donors.
• Our van title to arrive in time for our trip.
• The title for the trailer we're taking - can take four to six weeks. Please pray for expedited handling so we'll also have it in time for our trip.
• Productive sharing times with many families who will decide to support our ministry.
• Patience, stamina and strength for many logistical matters to tend to before leaving.
  

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers during this transition.


* We use this number based on the average giving per individual/family out of the 50 donors currently on record.
