October update

Praise God for his goodness and mercies as he continually reminds us that it is his mission and not ours. The Lord has touched people's hearts and wallets and our funding continues to grow. Due to some very generous giving our kitty now stands at $15,300. This equates to a little over 20% of our needs for the first year. Please continue to pray for the fund raising. I (Lachlan) am going to preach and be interviewed at a couple of churches in Perth over the next few weeks. Bishop David is also preaching at a number of churches in the Eastern States over the next month or so. It is a very humbling thing to walk, cap in hand, into a church particularly if you don't know anyone in the congregation. Pray that we may be wise about how to do this sensitively. A few people have asked us what we will do if we do not raise all the funding we need. Friends, we are going to Broome no matter what happens in this regard. It may mean that Bec or I need to work part-time in secular work to support the ministry. We are confident that the Lord will provide.
