As you might imagine, moving from the “calling” to the “work” of missions takes plenty of time and resources. Since 2013 we have been busy raising support en route to a budget that will allow us to dedicate ourselves to the work of ITEN full-time. Currently we have raised 50% of our total need with another 50% to go until we launch. Until we reach 100% all the money donated or pledged on our behalf will be held in trust by our sending organization World Outreach. I will continue to work full-time at Toccoa Falls College until our support goals have been reached.

Honestly…we know that many of you are in similar situations to our own family financially; every month you try to make ends-meet. You have little kids, teenagers, kids in college, or grandchildren. You have houses or apartments, cars and bills. What we are asking for is not necessarily a donation, but a commitment. We want you to join us, to partner with us, to come along on the journey. A relationship. We don’t care about the amount, we just want you to be in this with us in whatever way you can be. As William Carey said to his donors “I will go down into the darkness if you are willing to hold the rope.” We are looking for some faithful rope holders.
