Dear Prayer Partner,

I had a great three weeks in Oregon last month! As you know, Cheri and I are in the USA (North Carolina) during this semester seeking to bring our support level up and to promote our Kiev missionary-training projects. Back in my home-state of Oregon I enjoyed seeing relatives, long-time friends and faithful ministry partners in eight cities.

I definitely felt the Lord’s love as people responded with enthusiasm over the progress made in Eastern Europe and re-affirmed their commitment to our ministry goals and plans. One family donated funds for a classroom video projector and others made much-needed pledges toward our monthly support.

Personal Support is still needed. We went from a monthly shortage of $2,088 to only $1,383, thanks to several new support pledges.  But we still need the remaining 66% to come in. Please pray that either 100% of the pledges are made before the end of this summer or that the equivalent of one year’s pledges ($16,800) would be made in special offerings before we leave.

Next stop, California! I will be visiting churches and supporters in northern California over the next two weeks. Please play for safety in travel and joyful interaction with friends.

Blessing,

Rich and Cheri

Monthly support needed: $1,383.00

Did you know that just 25 additional pledges of $56.00 per month will bring us to full support?
