Spring Update

We are refreshed as we enjoy time in the warm sunshine! Our busy season has passed at work, and spring has definitely sprung! We hope you are also enjoying the fresh start of a new season!

“Because of the Lord’s great love
we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:22-23

Our excitement continues to grow as we anticipate posting updates from Georgia and putting to good use our time and talents as we serve in Georgia! Since our winter newsletter a couple months ago, we went from being 60% funded to 75% funded! We are so grateful for the supportive response we have received since beginning this journey. Our prayer is still to have our fundraising complete in June so we can arrive in Georgia by late summer. We have already been in communication with our country director about plans for our arrival, but before we can fully transition from fundraising to packing or buying plane tickets, we have to raise the last 25% of our support.

If you have been thinking about supporting us, now is the time to act. God has blessed us with 75% of our budget thus far through about 70 donors, and we know He will provide the remaining 25% through many more people. For us to complete our fundraising, we need approximately 30 people to pledge to give $30 per month over the next 2 years. Our donors have given one-time gifts and pledges of all different amounts…all of which have helped us reach 75%. If you would like to donate to support us, you can give online by clicking on the “Online Contributions” link under “Contribution Links” on the top right of our blog. You can also print a pledge form and mail to AGWM for one-time gifts or monthly pledges.

Once again, we appreciate your consideration and look forward to using your investment to further God’s work in Georgia.
