I shared a while back that it had become harder for me to wear the hats of lead pastor and fund raiser-in-chief for SRC. But I have worked at managing my time and energies in a more effective way to do both. I set a goal for myself to raise supporters each quarter this year, but it is getting harder as more and more contacts have been made, and they've either decided not to support us or are already supporting us.
Today however, I just received a call from a pastor in our section who had told me that they couldn't support me. He said that the church's finances just weren't at a place where they could bring us on. I told him I'd pray for his church to grow so they could support us, and I have. Guess what? The board had $50.00 a month that they wanted to know how to give it away, and the pastor recommended our mission, they accepted and praise the Lord! They'll be starting their support in March.
I know many of you still faithfully pray for us. Please continue to pray for this area of our ministry. God is doing all things well. We trust Him for his mercies.

"I told him I'd pray for his church to grow so they could support us, and I have." That's the sort of praying that many people don't even think about but it dovetails with God's provision. God has all the funds we need and can use any source we're willing to bless with our prayers.
