Start-up costs…CHECK!!!
Great news everyone!!!
Praise the Lord! We have officially raised our start-up costs of $9,492. That is huge! God is so good. Now, we are working on getting monthly pledges. Currently, we have $1,257 per month pledged and we need $2,895 per month pledged. For you math wizards, that is technically 43% of the way there. Please continue to pray that we are fully funded by August 1st. We expect bigger things and believe that we will meet our goals by mid-July.
So, just in case you are wondering what happens if you give a one-time gift now…that amount will be distributed over the 24 months that we will be in Bosnia. So, feel free to give a one-time gift or pledge a monthly amount. Above all else, we continue to ask for your prayers.
Lastly, we just recently sent out our first issue of The Streus News (our newsletter). If you did not receive and want one, that means that we either don’t have your email address or don’t know that you want to be on our list. Just let us know and we will send one your way.
We love you all very much and thank you for your support and partnership.
So that all may know,
Billy and Jess.
