Amazing Supporters

We have been working to finalize our monthly budget in Lima as after a few months of life here we are now entering a normal routine. (We need to squeeze a little tighter than we have been as Lima is just about as expensive as the states in most areas.) But today we don't write about us, we want to write about you.

We looked at our incoming support via FH from many of you. As we reviewed the list we reflected on faithful givers, committed givers and many new supporters too. We counted 21 of you who started supporting since we first joined with Food for the Hungry at the end of 1999. Amazing!! Twenty-one of you have supported us through all of our changes as well as your own over the past 10 years. Currently we have 45 people who have committed to walk with us by monthly giving and many more who give on occasion. These monthly gifts range from $10 to $350 and the one-times vary even greater. If you have not already given a financial gift we encourage you to think about joining us in this way.

So many people are wrestling with financial issues right now in this tough global economy. We thank God for you who are sacrificing to care for our needs as we serve the Lord together in Peru. We're glad we're not walking this journey alone. Thank you.

"Lord, your love is as high as the heavens. Your faithful love reaches up to the skies. ... How priceless your faithful love is! Important and ordinary people alike find safety in the shadow of your wings. They eat well because there is more than enough in your house. You let them drink from your river that flows with good things. You have the fountain of life. We are filled with light because you give us light."
Psalm 36:5-9
