Reflections on 1st Quarter 2010 by Dr. Doug Talley
|
 Indiana Ministries wants to thank you and your church for its
financial support during the first quarter of 2010. Giving has increased
over the same period compared with last year, though it is slightly
below budget level. Our budget calls for $98,363 per quarter, and we
received $93,199. In addition we have received $5,190 for church
planting and have a total of $14,648 pledged for 2010! We are encouraged
and want to express our appreciation to you for believing in Indiana
Ministries and our mission to transform churches so that lives and
communities are transformed through the power of Jesus Christ.

in one place and for one goal: to show the love of Christ to all who
would listen and see. Some churches had sunrise services and others
canceled altogether, but come 11 AM and 2 PM we were together. Read more...
