URGENT UPDATE

NOVEMBER 19, 2013

Please help us continue our ministry in Belgium
Hello friends! 

Since 1999, Dana and I have been privileged to serve at Continental Theological Seminary, training international students for ministry.  We have now reached a crucial time in order to be able to continue. We truly need your help today more than ever before. We are so thankful for the many churches and individuals who support us in both prayer and finances. However, we need a few more to join our support team if we are going to be able to continue!

  

We have currently raised 87% percent of our needed monthly budget and are struggling to complete our fundraising by December 1 in order to return to Belgium by Dec. 15th.

 

We remain $1,400 short of our monthly commitment need, and about $5,000 short of our needed cash budget.  

 

Will you help us?

 

Just 28 individuals or churches beginning or increasing their monthly support by $50 would put us over top!  We would love to give thanks on Thanksgiving in just 10 days that this need has been met and we can be on our way!

 

Would you prayerfully consider what part you or your church can play in helping us return to our ministry in Belgium?

 

Will you join us?

 

You can make a onetime or recurring gift, or make a monthly commitment completely online using the links above on the right. Or, you can call or email me (contact info is below) and I will send you the information.

 

Thank you for your consideration and partnership.

 

God Bless You!

Glen & Dana


Q&A:  Why does it take so long to raise your funds?

A combination of at least three reasons:
  1. Cost: Because of the high cost of living in Europe, our budget to live and work in Brussels is 69% higher than the average AGWM Missionary budget in other regions of the world. Because many churches give a standard amount to all missionaries, this means we must locate and partner with more churches to complete our funding. 
  2.  Lost support: During our last term, when the economy began to fall we lost almost 20% of our monthly support.  We have been working hard to replace this during the last 16 months of itineration.
  3. Fewer Opportunities: Changing schedules in U.S. Churches has meant the elimination of many Sunday evening and Wednesday services. This has made it more challenging to connect with the needed number of churches to form new partnerships.
Thank you for your prayers and partnership to help us overcome these challenges!
