If you haven’t yet heard, we surpassed our target for May Mission Month 2026. Our target was $200,000 and the final tally was $203,600. It’s always encouraging when we surpass our target, but this year, with increasing financial pressures, it was all the more so! Generosity when things are tight, demonstrates a heart posture grounded in a trust of God’s provision.
Nearly 150 different individuals and families donated to one or more of the projects - another of our criteria of “success” - which demonstrates a deep commitment to support the work of God around the world.
Our final criteria is that the offerings to our Ministry Budget doesn’t significantly fall behind. We are a bit behind but are ahead of where we were at the same time last year which is also encouraging.
Thanks to all who participated in May Mission Month 2026. Continue to pray that the financial resources we have provided would contribute significant to seeing lives changed by Jesus!

P.S. Just in terms of our Ministry Budget, if you are in line to receive a tax return, please consider giving a part of it to help us catch up!
