HOW CAN YOU HELP?MnTHly SUPPrT.(2-5 year CMMiTMenT)Has God burdened you with this opportunity? Has He put you or
your ministry in a position to support us? Would you prayerfully
consider supporting us monthly? By providing monthly sup-
port, you are securing our income so that we can dedicate
our full attention to the seed work of a baptist church in the city.
Any amount would help us! By God’s grace, perhaps He would
raise up a group of micro-donors (individuals and families) to
sacrice in creative ways to give our family small monthly amountsto speed us on in God’s mission.
We are condent that God will meet our needs. Could you t into
