Just wanted to let everyone know that it's been financially tough the last several months. One way we have dealt with financial downturns in the past is to publish a needs/wish list. But first let me say thank you to all those that send support on a regular basis. Your part in our ministry and lives is vital and very appreciated. A couple of months ago we moved to a less expensive house. I have been trying to do some webpage development for extra income and Cecilia has begun teaching some classes again. However, we still find ourselves with some financial needs. The following lists are separated into 'Urgent Needs', 'Needs' and 'Wishes'....

There is also another item which is a trip to an important conference in Argentina in October. This will be a wonderful opportunity to meet and fellowship with pastors and leaders of the other churches of the network and get some more exposure to the vision we share for changing our cities for Christ. As we work closely together in the central congregation here in Durango and continue pastoring the new work in the north part of town, this kind of experience is vital. The cost will likely be several thousand; we're still trying to get a budget established.

God will supply all our needs thru His riches in glory....that's what His own word says. We're looking forward to seeing how He will work financial miracles in the coming days.
