Developments:
* Praise the Lord! We received four new pledges of monthly financial support that put us at 17% of our budget. Through one-time donations and monthly supporters that started contributing we are at 25% of our projected moving expenses. We also received three new open pledges, people who formally let us know they intend to support us financially but don’t know the dollar amount yet.
* This month I attended one more funeral and one more wedding. I’m now 2 out of 3 weddings and 2 out of 3 funerals in my pastoral training track. I also had a one-on-one funeral training session with Pastor John Chinelly. He and I are meeting again in January for a one-on-one wedding training session. This is a great blessing since Pastor John has a wealth of ministry experience—thank you Pastor John!
* Our sister in Christ, Kim Fernandez, organized and hosted a Mary Kay party where all the proceeds will go towards our moving fund. Thank you Kim!
* This month we had our booth giving exposure to our ministry at the Spanish Ministries – Calvary Chapel Southeast Pastor’s Conference in Aventura. We had the privilege to make acquaintances with some of the key leaders of the Calvary Chapel Spanish Ministries here in Miami and in California.
