Update From Tommy

Just wanted to give you all some updated information on what is going on with us.

I was laid off from my job a few weeks ago. I know that sounds like a bad thing but it has really been a blessing.

We are leaving the United States on September 29th. We have our flights booked and are making final preparations for departure.

That being said, we are still fundraising and have not reached our goals yet. If you have joined us as a monthly sponsor or made a one time donation...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

If you haven't, we really need your help. Our monthly budget is going to be revised down to around $2000 a month so that's just 200 people helping us out by giving $10 a month. If you are able and willing to give more then that's fine too. I just don't want anyone to think that $10 a month won't matter in the grand scheme of things. It will.

Our house is still for sale and is also now on the rental market for $1300 a month through Carolina One Real Estate here in Charleston. Other than fundraising this is the last big visible hurdle that we need to get over. Please pray for this particular issue. I have cashed out my 401k and the longer it takes to get something done with the house the more of that money we are going to have to burn through making mortgage payments.

All of this is really small potatoes in light of who our God is. We are being constantly blessed and sustained in this work. Please don't hesitate to give God everything you have and serve Him with all your heart.

He is worth it!

Tommy
