Developments:
Last month the Lord provided 76.6% of our budget—our Lord will be proven faithful..!
The biggest news this month is that we got the results of Karla’s blood test that checks several chromosome indicators on the baby and it all came back saying that we’re having a healthy baby BOY! Thank You, Father—we praise Your holy and merciful name.!!
I continued on the contracting entry-level engineering job with T-Mobile in Sunrise, FL that the Lord provided me last month. For the time being, I’m driving to South Florida on Monday early morning, staying with friends while I work throughout the week, and driving back to Central Florida on Friday afternoon. We are still 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 during this period of time—four nights a week, just me. If you are led to help us in this regard, please let me know.
Remember that we have a new method of receiving donations since last 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.
