To My Friends and Family:

Here is an update on the “Kingdom Assignment”, about which I wrote to you several weeks ago.

Funding--The $100 with which I began has grown to over $5,000, thanks to your generous contributions. There is still plenty of time to make a donation, which should be payable to me and mailed to my home address. While I cannot yet be sure how things will turn out, I believe that most, if not all, of the donations will be tax-deductible to the giver—I will supply a copy of a receipt from a charity and a note explaining what percentages were given to which charities.

Ideas—You have responded with a large number of great, worthy projects. It has been difficult to choose from among them. My leaning right now is to support Seamark Ranch in Green Cove Springs, FL. This is a wonderful facility that houses children, who cannot live with their parents, in real family home environments, with live-in married couple supervision, education, counseling, real-life skills teaching, etc. Please visit their website at http://www.seamarkranch.com/. Seamark Ranch needs to equip a library for the resident children—they have plenty of books but need shelving, tables and other equipment to turn stacks of reading materials into a usable study and research facility. Other projects are also under consideration, with betterment of underprivileged or hurting children being the common denominator among them. After my interviews with charity directors, I decided that for any goods purchased as part of this project I would personally get involved in negotiating prices.

Prayers—Your prayers certainly have been heard, for I have felt a strong calling to apply the project funds to help children in need. Your continued help in this regard would be most appreciated.

Thank you so much for reading this update all the way through and thank you for your help. I will report to you further on the status of the Kingdom Assignment.


Best regards,
.
