France Friday- From 25 to 100 in 6

First let me say that I am really excited to be announce that we have in fact reached our 25% monthly support goal, several weeks later than we had hoped, but still it's a milestone for us and quite encouraging. Let me also warn you that you will be hearing a lot more from us over the next few months. We are working on what I like to call "The Plan". Maybe that's because I am, by nature, a "type A" planner. Brandon is officially calling it "Forty Days For France". We are going to spend forty days doing everything we can and getting as many people as we can to join us in reaching AT LEAST 50% by the end of the forty days and ultimately 100% by January.  We found out that our pre-field training will start in the middle of January and we are believing that we can get there.  Brandon will soon be sending out more details via video message, but let me just remind you what these percentages represent.  Our monthly financial needs (which include living expenses, ministry funds, etc.) are $8,431/month.  This also accounts for the dollar/euro ratio.  That means that we need to have $4, 215.50 by the end of the 40 days in order to be at 50%.  That is approximately $2,100 that we need to raise in pledged monthly support.  If you are thinking, "maybe they don't need me..." THINK AGAIN!  We are asking all who can and feel called to give.  Maybe that means $10/month.  We have several people giving that amount.  Maybe that means more.  Maybe you can't give, but you know someone who can.  We are meeting with churches, individuals and groups.  Anyone who is interested in learning more about how you can partner with us, whether that be financially, prayerfully or other ways.  Get ready for forty days of hearing from us more than you might like. ;)  We are going from 25 to 100 in six months.  Find out more about how you can be a part of that!
