Update On Our Request for Help (by Thom)

A couple of months ago I mentioned here that my bookkeeping computer had died and I was needing some help to raise funds for that. However, I didn't realize until today that I never followed up on that with the corresponding praise. After making the need known the two Alliance churches from Lima, OH helped out a lot raising more money that I originally asked for allowing me to get a better, faster, and (hopefully) more durable laptop to to mission business on. I don't even know how to thank the churches and their members enough for their generosity but I can say that this new machine has been a huge blessing to me and subsequently to all the missionaries that I serve by handling their finances.
Even though that need has been met I would like to mention our ongoing need to raise funds for our new car. When we move to Dakar, Senegal next year we'll have to buy a new car. Cars are much more expensive overseas than in the United States and we would like to raise $25,000. We are currently at about $3,300 and we are praying to get about $7,500 for our current car when we sell it in Mali. If you'd like to help with our car fund you may send your tax-deductible gift to:

Or you can make your gift on-line here. As the disclaimer on-line says, there is no 15% administrative fee for donations to vehicle specials. Thanks for your prayer and financial support!
