I have trouble writing about needs, when God has so graciously and abundantly supplied so much (especially at the end of the year). We are so thankful we are finally out of the red (after 11 months). God has used so many people during these hard economic times to give  and give to our ministry. We celebrate and continue to be thankful for how He provides for us.

We can’t control timing of when needs come, and God does say that “we have not because we ask not”.  So, I’m writing about some of our urgent needs:

dishwasher– Our dishwasher has been broken for about 3 months now. It needs a new electronic panel (for 375$). We’ve been hand-washing (not unusual, but tiresome) and would be very thankful if we could get ours repaired or buy a new one (which ever is cheaper)

computers – Zac’s computer has been broken since our last return from the States. It needs a new motherboard. The home computer is out of date and doesn’t have sufficient memory to run the educational programs we have. The good news is my computer is working perfectly, so we are able to work, but there isn’t enough time during the day to share it between so many uses. We need to at least purchase 1 new computer, probably for the home (desk top), so Zac can fully take over mine. This will be a big investment of probably around $1200 (or less if we can find a good used one).

If you are willing to help us with either of these special items, we are creating a special funds account with JV to cover these items. Or, if you have a newer computer you would like to give to our ministry we would be thrilled to work out a way of getting it here.
