The new year is 1/12 over already, and it seems like it was just a few days ago we saw the pineapple drop in Sarasota!
We must start the year expressing thanks to God for his provision through our faithful monthly supporters and special gifts of generous donors, as we were able to end 2010 with a deficit of LESS THAN $2000 in our ministry account -- a dramatic improvement. In fact, all Proclaim missionaries who have had serious deficits ended December with their deficit erased or significantly reduced. This is confirmation that God’s resources are sure and he is not limited by this world’s economic climate.
Neither is he limited by this world’s political and social environment. We see the troubles in North Africa that greatly impact plans that are in process for ministry this year, but know that God will open doors and accomplish his work. In Proclaim we constantly have the challenge of making plans, but being prepared for those plans to change depending on world events, finances, or situations of our personnel or ministry partners. January is always a month of getting organized for the coming year and beginning to finalize schedules and plans, and it can be unsettling to not have more nailed down. But what we love is that we have no choice but to seek God daily for his direction and wisdom.
You can see why we treasure and depend on the partnership of those who seek God with us for his leading.
