NEWS LETTER: JULY 2017

Developments:
Last month the Lord provided 90.7% of our budget—our Lord will be proven faithful..!

The biggest news this month is that we’re moving to South Florida on July 29th! After seeking and waiting on the Lord on this issue for a couple of months we see the Lord clearly leading in this direction. At this point, we are very excited and feel like we are finally going back home. We look forward to reconnecting with so many old friends, supporters, ministry partners and with our home church. Father, Your will be done… Make us bloom where You plant us—to the glory of Your great name!

I continued on the contracting entry-level engineering job with T-Mobile in Sunrise, FL that the Lord provided me two months ago. This is a long-term project that is supposed to last for at least one year and accounts for 90% of our budget. Father, You are our Provider… Our hope is in You!

Remember that we have a new method of receiving donations. If you are led to help us financially, please send your tax-deductible donations via regular checks made out to Calvary Chapel Villages to the following address:

Calvary Chapel Villages
333 Colony Blvd, Box 311
The Villages, FL 32162

In the memo of the check write “For Garcia’s”.

We are working with GO! Ministries to set up an account with them so our ministry can be supported via online donations.
