Financial Update

Financial Update

This update is for all of you who have followed us and invested your money and your very lives in prayer for this project. "The Report Card" to the right shows the record for the year 1982.

The BAD NEWS is that only twice before have we been this far behind.

The GOOD NEWS is that while we may be further behind we are nevertheless further along!

That is, we have almost completed 18 payments and we have only five more to go three little ones (Dec.
1., Mar. 1, and June 1) and two big ones (Sept. 83 and Sept. '85).

However, we have no desire to confuse anyone about the future. The one, largest payment next September is larger than all past payments over the last six years put together. If we can't make it, could we lose, this property and everything we have paid? Yes. Can we lose out even before then if we don't catch up? Yes.

Nevertheless, twenty two mission and church executives are gathering here Feb. 7 and 8 to sit down with. us and think and pray through the whole matter of just how feasible it is for us to count on 400,000 additional $15 gifts to. come in by next September. Read about this on page 15. The real purpose of course, is how to give  new hope and vision to the 1,270,000 people in their constituencies. Will you pray with us to that end?
