Quick Update

Brothers and Sisters,

This is a quick update, not a long post.

Give the Lord praise with us!! We have truly reached a milestone. In less than a week of our sending our newsletter out, we broke the 50% mark of our fundraising. As of 1:52 pm this afternoon, we have 54% of our first year of funding either banked, or pledged. This is phenomenal seeing that we truly hit the ground at the end of June/first of July beginning to raise funds. So  in 4 months, we broke the 50% barrier. However, there are 4 major prayer items you can pray with us immediately:

1) Some key decisions our presbytery's (Pee Dee) MNA Committee will be making concerning us in the next couple of weeks. We believe they are authoritatively in place by God for our protection and His glory. Our family's stance is to follow His will and not our own. So to reiterate, pray for their discussions and decisions.

2) That God will continue to bless the Carolina Forest church plant (not Mark and Lisa Horne) with funding. We are only a part of this ministry. The goal is for a church in God's Kingdom to be placed in this community for advancing His Kingdom further.

3) That those who are partnering with us in this ministry will be blessed as we hear of their pledges and support in the coming weeks, and for those I will be meeting with in the next couple of months to share how they may partner with us.

4) Finally, and most important, for an influx of end-of-the-year one time giving, which could push us closer to the 100% mark. Whether it be churches who may not be able to partner with us annually, but be willing to take up a Thanksgiving, or Christmas Love offering designated for Carolina Forest Church. Also, it may could come from individuals who has an amount designated for some ministry they are planning to give toward as an annual gift, but have been waiting for God to lead that ministry to them. Who knows whom God may lead to help CFC reach goal - individuals, small groups, churches/organizations - we know He has their hearts in His plan.

 We know that no gift is too small, or insignificant. A $25 one time gift gets exponentially blessed as much as a $2,500, or $25,000 one time gift.  

Thank you for praying with us!! 

Blessings,
