Developments:
Last month the Lord provided 87.7% of our budget—our Lord will be proven faithful..!
The biggest news this month is that the Lord provided me a contracting entry-level engineering job with T-Mobile in Sunrise, FL. For the time being, I’ll be driving to South Florida on Monday early morning, staying with friends while I work throughout the week, and driving back to Central Florida of Friday afternoon. We are praying through this to see if God is using this turn of events to move our family and our local ministry back to South Florida… We’ll keep you posted as things develop.
I’m looking for places to stay in South Florida—four nights a week, just me—during this period of time. If you are led to help us in this regard, please let me know.
Remember that our method of receiving donations changed this month. 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.
