How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?  And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”

 Wanted  to drop a line to update everyone on our status. As of about two weeks ago we are officially Shepherd Staff missionaries! This is something that is really a big deal for us as this organization deals with all of our financial stuff i.e. taxes, donation receipts, collection point for funds, online donations,  insurance, and many others. This however does raise our needed support some, the insurance, which is an option, will run about $360 for the entire family. Other than that social security and Fica or whatever the mandatory deductions is, and admin fee 10%, will be about $300 as well. We are totally relying on the Lord for these funds as He is who has placed this desire in our hearts. Our goal is to have all of our monthly support by September, I have said before and will say again this is our timing and we are very flexible to His direction and timing. Several people have stated we are not gone yet so they aren't supporting, which is perfectly fine, what we are asking is if this is you please let us know that you are going to support us monthly and the amount you are planning to donate, this information is important so that we know where we stand financially. For those of you who at this point are unable to make a monthly commitment we are accepting donations now online through Shepherd Staff at the link we shared several days ago as well at the bottom of this letter. I want to thank all of you for your prayers especially as they are coveted, and also those who have been giving both through the church and online through Shepherd Staff. Here at Calvary Chapel Valle Vista   we have been blessed by a brother in the Lord who so graciously built a website and links for us so you can follow us there  as well as through e-mails.
