The Great Appeal

The Wrap-up

Most of you are familiar with my recent support raising campaign, “the Great Appeal”. I just wanted to update you on my progress and current standing.

In the past three months, I am excited to say that I have been fully blessed with the addition of 7 new team members. Also, as I have been in transition from Arkansas to Hawaii, I was so surprised by the amount of help I received with every need I had through the servant hearts and generosity of numerous friends and family members.

The Mighty Transition

---

I’ve finally made it to my little grass shack in Ahualoa, Hawaii (the Big Island). I arrived last week, Wednesday April 18th. It has been quite the journey from Arkansas to Hawaii with a slight detour through the Carolina’s, Georgia, Nashville, Memphis, Los Angeles, and Oahu. I would sum up my extended transition this way: driving, friends, meetings, drag races, bronchitis, no sleep, lots of caffeine, good times, pedicures, horchata, old friends, and familiar faces.Follow the links bellow to read on…

Prayer Team Wanted!

I can assume many of you are praying for me and my work in ministry already, but I really feel the need to have a team of prayer partners. If you are interested, please contact me as soon as possible. To learn more about the role of being a Prayer Team member please click here.

Urgent: Immediate Needs

It’s hard to know if a need is really a need, and if it is, then there’s the issue of it’s urgency. As difficult as it may be to figure it out, at this point I would like to say that I am at a place where I have a few urgent needs that, without, I am unable to move forward in so many areas of work and life. I am hoping to have these needs met by the middle to end of June, although some are more urgent than others.

I would like to ask if you could check out the brief list below of some urgent needs I have and consider helping to provide for these needs in my life. If you want to know more about each need, simply click here and/or contact me using the info found here.

• Laptop and Applications: For communication, organization, and work.
• Transportation: Anything with 2 or 4 wheels.
• Housing: Help with rent through monthly donations?
• External Firewire Hard-drive: For file transfer and storage as well as video editing.
