Thank you for remembering othThank you for remembering oth

and blessing us in this wonderful wand blessing us in this wonderful w

As we have entered 2008 there is

always a bit of uncertainty at to how

things will go. I would be less than can-

did if I told you that the financial end of

this ministry were not a concern. I must

be reminded that He is the faithful One

who never fails.

In addition to the regular Operating

Budget of $53,000 we are also trying to

fund construction of Wagner Hall, our

badly needed new Mens Residence.

Total cost is $3.2 million. We are on the

very front end of a $125,000 Matching

Grant.

Some well-meaning folks will say

that, considering the times, these can-

not be done; too much money. But, I

am reminded that these are the Lords

times and He is our Provisioner; He will

not fail. I need to be more faithful inpraying and trusting as well as in work-

ing to see this wonderful building fin-

ished. The need for it is beyond ques-

tion.

Dont forget to make plans on at-

tending our Annual Banquet. This year,

and for the foreseeable future, we are

meeting at the Youth Annex of Parkway

Christian Center. This is always such a

wonderful time of fellowship and testi-

mony. Again, this year, you must have aticket to gain admittance. All you need

to do is call the Mission Office476-

0082and ask to have a ticket sent to

you, or picked up by you. No ticketNo

admittance.

Thanks for your loving support and

prayers for us and this precious and

wonderful work. Together, we can

cause many to stand in awe over the

way He cares for so many through us.

Have you considered the Gospel Rescue Mission as a beneficiary through yourwill or estate planning? Your gifts can help ensure the present ministry and fulfillthe future of this wonderful work.
